RJ revamps, revises prep sports coverage for new year
High school sports return to Southern Nevada this weekend, and the fall season begins with the Review-Journal taking a new approach to coverage.
NevadaPreps.com has moved to the Sports section under reviewjournal.com. Readers will need a digital subscription to reviewjournal.com to access our comprehensive preps coverage.
The high schools page has an improved look and has been retooled to emphasize what site visitors have shown they care about most: scores, schedules and rosters. The site still features game stories and player profiles.
The Review-Journal’s revamped preps coverage will concentrate on the eight sports that are most popular on our website: football, girls volleyball, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls basketball, baseball and softball. We will continue to cover state championships for all sports, including wrestling, track and swimming.
Jason Orts is leading our coverage. Orts is a native Texan with a longtime passion for high school sports. He brings five years of experience as the preps coordinator for the Waco Tribune-Herald, and he spent the past few seasons as a high school football play-by-play announcer.
Orts’ experience navigating the highly competitive Texas high school sports scene will be reflected in the Review-Journal’s preps coverage.
“Covering high school sports has been a great passion of mine for the past 15 years,” Orts said. “I plan to use that experience to inject a fresh perspective and some new ideas to combine with the stellar coverage the Review-Journal has provided readers in the past.”
It all begins with Friday night’s football games.
