CSLV: A Statistics-Heavy Newsletter; Top Times And Early Season Results
CSL has some of state's top track and field performers, lots of baseball and softball stats.
OF NOTE
Going forward, my new plan is to honor the Players of The Week and Team of The Week in a separate newsletter behind a paywall. You will see who those honored are, but the stats and details will be behind the paywall.
The statistics heavily featured in this newsletter come from emails directly from coaches, Twitter or other submissions. If you want to see more your program’s accomplishments in writing, send me an email at kalebcarter4256@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter at @CSL_Varsity.
I’ll be honest, this newsletter took a bit too much time to compile. I probably won’t be doing another newsletter this heavy in statistics again.
