TAKKLE launches 2008 High School Football Rankings
New York, 10/02/08

NEW YORK, NY and CHICAGO, IL – TAKKLE (www.takkle.com), the leading social media site for high school athletes, today launched its expanded 2008 football rankings.

TAKKLE’s rankings now include the nation’s Top 200 high school football players, a hundred additional players from last year. Players are evaluated by the NCSA and scouts such as Bob Chimel, former head recruiter for Notre Dame and Michigan, and Randy Taylor, formerly of UCLA, using video and scouting reports from their large network of high school coaches and recruiters to compile the lists.
Users have access to players’ stats, videos and photos. TAKKLE will also rank prep football’s Top 50 Underclassmen and the Top 25 Players in each position throughout the season. This expansion further increases the power of TAKKLE’s already powerful high school sports rankings, which also includes basketball, baseball, and boys’ and girls’ lacrosse.

“We are excited to expand our rankings platform to include 200 of the top high school football players in the country,” said Takkle CEO David Birnbaum. “Since launching last year Takkle’s leading technology in the social media space has allowed users to become more engaged in the rankings by giving them a voice to express their opinions and vote for their favorites.”
