Today we announce some very exciting news: VarsitySportsNetwork.com has been acquired by the The Baltimore Banner and will be incorporated into the Banner’s new digital news operation: TheBaltimoreBanner.com.
Everything you know and have loved about Varsity Sports Network, and our coverage of local high school sports, will live on, but, starting on Tuesday, August 23nd, it will live at a new location.
This coverage, which will continue to be produced by VSN’s award winning team of writers, will only grow as part of The Baltimore Banner.
Starting next week we will be rolling out several feature stories, as well as our rankings, players to watch and a listing of top games to watch for the fall sports season, and much more. In addition we will continue to be your eyes and ears on the field with our game coverage which will get underway later next week.
