August 23, 2007Varsity.roanoke.com debuts
The new varsity.roanoke.com site features scores, stats, schedules, rosters and other high school sports info. Each school in the coverage area has its own page, where users can upload school photos and video. They can also check scores for their team sports, roster info, district standings and upcoming games. Each page also includes a link to the TimesCast Sports: High school edition that runs every Tuesday. On game nights, we'll post scores to the site as soon as we get them. Game capsules will be added later. As the season progresses, users can track stat leaders and talk about their team's progress on the message board. Although the site focuses primarily on football, other sports will be added and featured. August 21, 2007Sports TimesCast: High School edition debutsJust in time for the high school fall season, we launched the debut episode of the Sports TimesCast: High School edition today on roanoke.com. The title is a bit long and may change (it's an experiment, after all), but we wanted to build off the TimesCast name that runs with the original daily webcast and the sports version featuring Doug Doughty and Randy King. Instead of Doug and Randy, the HS sportscast features Aaron McFarling and Robert Anderson. Aaron writes a regular sports column and covers high school sports. Robert primarily covers the high school sports beat. We're hoping the high school sports edition will feature lots of user-submitted video from high school games, meets, matches or other sports-related events. There'll be more high school-related content hitting the site later in the week. Stay tuned, and of course, send feedback. August 7, 2007Crossword puzzle now available through Roanoke.Com We're always looking to update site features, from interactive graphics to movie listings. But one of the most recognized staples in the newspaper, the daily crossword puzzle, has always been somewhat old-fashioned. Not anymore. Located on the Entertainment tab on the main index page, as well as the Entertainment index page, are links to Eugene Sheffer's daily crossword puzzle -- in an online, Java applet. You can access the interactive puzzle by clicking here. |
