176 North Carolina Schools now part of the iHigh.com High School Sports Network

Currently, 176 schools in North Carolina have joined the iHigh.com High School Sports Network. That's more than one-third of the state's high schools, with many now adding iHigh's latest offering of video highlight streaming. For example, fans of Hoke County, Western Alamance, West Stokes, Cary and many others can now enjoy video highlight coverage, available worldwide, of many sports, including football, basketball and volleyball.

"Our growth has been phenomenal and is proof that iHigh.com is exploding in popularity," said Tim Campbell, president and CEO. "This means that anybody in any part of the world can watch video free on iHigh.com. It's terrific for family members who want to see a loved one play their favorite sport, as well as for college coaches who are looking at high school players to bring in future talent."

In addition to video highlights live audio is available, plus photos and updates are added by North Carolina schools on a daily basis. NorthCarolina.iHigh.com is home to the state's best football scoreboard and high school news headlines.

The iHigh.com school sites are proving to be so popular that several North Carolina schools -- Cary, Cummings, Hoke County, North Wilkes, Person, and Rocky Mount among them -- rank among the most popular iHigh.com school sites in the country. Nationally, iHigh covers all 22,000 schools with more than 2,400 schools now signed up to be a part of the national iHigh.com High School Sports Network.

In addition, thousands of North Carolina high school students are expected to sign up to put their profiles, videos and photos on MyiHigh. This allows student-athletes to create a personalized Web page devoted to their athletic accomplishments, complete with game video. This new concept has received the approval of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) because it will allow coaches to view game videos and student-athlete performances without having to travel to games or review hundreds of videotapes or disks.

North Carolina schools and student-athletes not yet part of the iHigh.com High School Sports Network can join for free. To register, or for more information, log onto www.iHigh.com.
