Community Partner Spotlight: uReport Connects Wyoming Schools and Communities

Allen Von Eye | Wyoming Coaches Association | Oct 19, 2026

At the Wyoming Coaches Association (WCA), we have partnered with uReport to bring its AI writing platform to Wyoming high schools. Four of Newcastle High School’s five fall sports have used the platform to generate stories. Newcastle’s work throughout the fall offers a practical example for other schools, with game summaries, meet coverage and player spotlights helping connect programs with their community.

uReport is so user friendly and it really helps generate a quality product without placing more on a coaches plate. As coaches, there is NEVER enough time, however, uReport allows us to do some really neat things as far as promoting our programs and keeping our community connected.

The partnership gives schools a tool to create and share coverage of student-athletes and school activities. Mickey Crabtree, Newcastle’s head volleyball coach, highlighted the ability to generate stories, request revisions and make personal edits before sharing them on other platforms. Allen Von Eye, assistant football coach, emphasized the platform’s ease of use and the time it saves while helping coaches promote their programs.

It would be really cool to see all of Wyoming using this platform/product! I think it would add a lot of exposure to our student-athletes and programs. We do a lot of cool things in Wyoming!

At Newcastle, that coverage extends beyond results. The school has used uReport to support its Dogie Way Shoutout program, which recognizes positive actions witnessed at school sports and activities. It also used the platform to share Homecoming information. FFA and FBLA programs can use the same tools to connect with their followers, extending the platform’s applications beyond athletics.

It was pretty easy to use to get scores out and just basic information about the weekend games. I enjoyed that you could customize it however you want. I enjoyed how you can have the system re-write the story if you did not like the one it generated the first time and it allows you to make personal edits. I like that you can personalize it more with pictures as well. It was pretty easy to upload onto other platforms once you got the hang of it.

Families and fans can contribute photos and videos through the free uReport Connect app for iOS and Android, with submissions reviewed before being added to stories and team galleries. Coaches can also attach football film highlights or short clips from other events. Direct links to social media accounts help distribute that coverage. Sonja Karp, head swimming coach, described the platform as a way to highlight swimming and diving accomplishments in a sport that receives less attention than other fall programs.

It is awesome how it allows you to pull information off the web, like MaxPreps or Hudl, and then generate a story from this!

For our member schools, Newcastle provides examples of how a writing platform can support both athletic coverage and community participation. Visit Newcastle’s story page to explore its coverage and find ideas for using uReport at your school. Every school in Wyoming has free access to uReport for the 2026-27 school year.

The one thing I would recommend to coaches if they do not have a lot of time on their hands is to use this platform! It saves so much time! It is better to either do it immediately after the games if they are just going to do scores and comments or send stats to an assistant coach or manager for them to implement after stats are done. It definitely saves time while still allowing us to promote our team.

UReport has transformed the way we share the story of Newcastle High School. Its ease of use allows our staff and coaches to quickly create and publish engaging content, helping us celebrate achievements, promote activities, and keep our community connected like never before. It links directly to our social media pages and serves as a one stop shop for creation and posting!

Head Swimming Coach, Sonja Karp

uReport has been an awesome addition to the NHS Girls’ Swimming program. As an “outlier” sport, swimming doesn’t tend to receive the same attention as other fall sports, so uReport has been a great way to highlight my girls’ successes throughout the season! The ease with which I can create recaps of the weekend is wonderful, and the ability to share our competitions across social media platforms that reach the community makes uReport really beneficial to our programs. Hopefully, the positive publicity uReport enables me to put out there will get the attention of little Dogies and help the swimming and diving program grow!
