New Ulm Sports Central - Preserving and Sharing New Ulm Area Sports History

Detailed reporting by New Ulm Journal has prompted development of the best football line scores of the season for this historic preserving website. The results are now added to the story below relating to the results of high school football games in the first round of the playoffs for New Ulm teams.

The Associated Press, national news gathering organization, publishes a guide book which includes how sports reports are reported in the areas of line and box scores. New Ulm Sports Central encourages the use of line scores as a minimum sports reporting element.

A line score includes the score by innings or periods followed by all the scoring by periods. All three games had scores by quarters and all New Ulm scoring except for the lack of information regarding touchdown conversions in many instances. Much of the opponent's scoring was also detailed from the reprinting of one fairly complete line score reported by the Journal and a fabrication of line scores based on articles of the other two games.
