We're encouraging coaches/score keepers to use our web exchange system to input games each night.

To input scores, you will need a username and password. If interested, please e-mail me at mpucci@nhregister.com and I will send the log-in information as well as instructions.

During the season, we will run a daily "Star of the Day" poll, featuring three of the day's top performers.

We will also run a weekly "Team of the Week" feature, where readers will choose from three of the past week's top teams.

These polls will run on our website at nhregister.com.

We will also select a female and male Athlete of the Week. Coaches are encouraged to nominate players through Saturdays by 6 p.m. When nominating, please give name of athlete, school, class, statistics from the past week, and the coach's contact information. Coaches may also nominate athletes on our web page.
