8. Receiving detailed information only a couple weeks prior
to the Shootout from schools and Mollie about players to
watch, spirit contest rules, halftime honorees and anti-
bullying campaign
More difficult getting the word out with very few details
Sending out four press releases and only one being
published by the Enquirer
Meeting once a week as a class made it difficult to
distribute time sensitive material
9. Have a meeting with athletic directors and coaches a
couple months prior to the shootout
-Explain in person that Xavier students will be working on
promoting the event and possibly have Xavier students in
attendance
-Explain how important it is to have key information early,
such as: rosters, players to watch and halftime honorees
-Encourage them to get their student athletes more involved
by promoting the shootout via spoken word and social media
-Prepare PA announcements to hand them, which can be read
at each school’s athletic competitions and other events
