A Utah high school became the first in the state to implement a piece of technology giving fans a chance to follow its sports teams in real time, no matter their location.
Bingham High School in November installed a device called Scorebird that plugs in to the scorekeeping mechanism in its basketball gym and pushes every piece of information from the scoreboard to Scorebird’s system. Through VNN, a sports media service utilized by more than 70 Utah high schools, those live scores appear on Bingham’s website.
Bingham athletic director Andrea Bouwhuis said the new system was implemented just before the start of basketball season and displays scores from sophomore, junior varsity and varsity games.
