The Ledger is starting a brand new site, called Polk Preps, that will serve as a one-stop source for stats, standings and other Polk County High School sports information. The site isn’t live yet, but you can check out a preview of it here. Certainly High School football is huge in Polk County, but this site will cover other sports as well and should really provide a great resource to not only fans, but coaches and even schools.

The site will launch on Thursday, August 26 with a launch party at The Ledger’s offices from 5pm-7pm. For more information about the launch party, call 863-802-7401.

Well, The Ledger has done a great job of putting together an interactive Lakeland Tigers Hall of Fame. When you see that list of players, and the level of success they have had in the big leagues, it really is impressive to think that they started their great careers in Lakeland. After you go over to The Ledger’s site and check out that list, start making plans to attend some Flying Tiger games this season. Their schedule is already out and they start playing in just a few weeks. As always, it is very affordable and they always have a lot of great promotions going on.

That sport just happens to be water skiing. This certainly isn’t the first water ski movie to be filmed in Polk County, but it certainly is another feather in the cap of the “Water Ski Capital of the World” and another example of why Polk County has that title.
