Case Study: Oak Park River Forest High School puts girls flag football on the record with BreakAway Data

Oak Park River Forest High School ships Illinois flag stats in 4 days with BreakAway Data

Oak Park River Forest High School, a large girls' flag football program in Illinois, faced the challenge of having no official record of its athletes' game statistics despite running a serious and growing program. Their situation was complicated by Illinois's unique 100-yard field format, which was not supported by most stat-tracking services. Head coach Jim Geovanes turned to BreakAway Data to solve this problem.

BreakAway Data implemented its self-serve platform, quickly shipping a custom rule set for the Illinois format within four days of the request. Coach Geovanes himself handled the entire setup, including scheduling, roster management, and a parent presentation. The solution resulted in the program successfully statting its own games, providing immediate box scores and stat cards to over 100 athletes. The BreakAway Data platform was hailed as a "gamechanger," instantly giving the program an official record and positively impacting athlete engagement.
