    Default Are Maxpreps Stats Reliable?

    Studying up on stats for Gilmer vs Pleasant Grove and notice that Maxpreps.com shows a new coach for Gilmer. Are they premature, incorrect or just incompetent.

    About the only thing I use maxpreps for is schedules and scores. Pretty quick to navigate and fairly reliable. I wouldn’t use it for stats but then again I’m not sure what a good source would be?

    Agreed. I don't think they get emails from the coaches or statisticians that attend the games, so accuracy is not going to be there. Very few news sources do full statistics any more.

    I look at it for all the above with the understanding there is some incompleteness with some teams from time to time. The scores and schedules I have found to be reliable but the box score is inconsistent for some games and spot on for others. Its the only national source for statistics that I know of other than NHS Records involving HS Football. That being said Liberty Hill is currently listed as the number 1 rushing offense in the entire nation for all classifications public and private, ins spite of having played 1 to 3 games less than all others in the top 10. I choose to believe that this stat is spot on, lol.

    Anytime I’m talking hsfb with someone and they say “maxpreps” I start laughing and walk away.
