ABOUT STATE CHAMPS! W

For the last twenty years, our Emmy award winning network, State Champs!, has always made it a priority to showcase women’s sports. We are the only outlet that has consistently covered female high school sports all year long. Now, we have designated a new platform to help female high school athletes rise… welcome State Champs! Women.

State Champs! Women (SC!W) is dedicated to providing females the equal coverage they deserve while bringing awareness to the gaps in the recruiting process for women. This community is for the female athlete, run by an all-female team. We will be covering a variety of women’s sports in the tri-state area of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

SC!W features a weekly Scout Report highlighting top female athletes and recruits. We also publish podcasts and news articles in a variety of different sports throughout the season. Support these athletes by following us on our social media outlets where we also share video content of plays of the week, news, top athletes, top-ranked teams, recruiting tips, and more.

Let’s help take this female talent to the next level of competition and WATCH HER RISE!
