Blitz Board Stats Set To Provide
Key Service For Football Teams

The first fully-sanctioned season of New Jersey high school flag football is still months away when the 2027 campaign kicks off next spring, and along with continuing to boost the accurate recording of stats for that burgeoning national scholastic sports phenomenon, the company Blitz Board Stats is also getting closer to being fully ready to also track all the stats for the high school football’s traditional fall season.

Created through the efforts of co-founders Teri Brooks and Janice Grimsley, the ‘real-time’ electronic stat-tracking system has already made a positive impact in the Garden State during a pair of major events, including the third annual girls flag football all-star game which is part of the popular Phil Simms New Jersey North-South All-Star Classic played this year on June 20th at The College of New Jersey in Ewing Township.

“We’ve had a great response to our flag football official game recorded stats and we have our developers helping with finishing up our platform for the upcoming boys high school football season,” said Brooks, who is chief executive officer for the fast-growing company. “We will soon be ready to fully document stats for all high school football teams, and we’d love to help out all interested coaches who would like to be able to easily access complete statistical performance of every player on their team, which we feel can be a huge service to coaches, college recruiters, athletic directors, parents and -of course- the athletes themselves.”   

Seen diligently working away in the TCNJ press box while compiling the information needed to fill all the different statistical categories during the recent Simms Classic, Brooks and Co. from Blitz Board Stats were busy once again demonstrating just how valuable they can be for any football team or special event.

Now they want to help as many individual high schools as possible.
“I think the service is awesome,” said Joe Rotondi, the longtime Simms Classic media coordinator and veteran coach in Hudson County. “To have instant stats at your fingertips as a coach, and for the players to have stats after the game instantaneously is fantastic!

“As far as the regular high schools in the midst of their upcoming seasons, I think it’ll take a huge task taken off the plate of the coaching staff, and provide a quick and accurate way to have those valuable recorded stats.

“Hopefully we can develop a partnership with the good folks at Blitz Board Stats for future All-Star games as well.”

Brooks and Co. from Blitz Board Stats look to help trains teams to have their own statistician on the sidelines and will they will help get the process jump-started.

For big events such as this past May’s ECAC flag football championships held at the Jets training facility in Florham Park, a team of statisticians under Blitz Board Stats was on hand.

Brooks stayed in touch with New Jersey high school media folks she met during the ECAC championships, including George Muha of ‘Big State Sports,’ which broadcasts the Simms All-Star Classic and hundreds of New Jersey high school games throughout the year, and a burgeoning working relationship was forged leading to Brooks, Grimsley and Co. working along with Rotondi and Game Director George DiGrande at the 2026 Simms All-Star Classic at TCNJ.  

“We had a terrific group on hand to help us power the stats for the ECAC championships and had a great response, which helped lead up to us returning to New Jersey for the Simms all-star games,” said Brooks, who resides with her family in the San Diego, Calif. area. “I love data and analytics, and we have real talented developers helping to build out our product.

“It started out with a white board creating a simple tracking system for my son’s second grade flag team, and over the next four years and 15 seasons we’ve gone on to design and build something that we feel is a powerful tool to empower coaches, parents and players.

“We’re built for full-time tracking, optimized for flag, but tackle support is definitely very much in the works and is close to happening for this upcoming season.”

Teams and organizations will be able to track each athlete at a very low cost per month.
