Beginning this fall, The Times’ high school sports coverage will head off in yet another new direction: The Blog-o-sphere!

I am one of many assistant sports editors here at The Times, and I’m in charge of our high school (or ‘prep’) sports coverage. As many of you who follow our prep coverage know, it’s impossible to guess as to how it will evolve year to year. (‘The only constant is change.’)

This time around, we’re going Back to the Future, back to regionalized coverage, but done through blogs. Six prep reporters have each been assigned a geographical region of the Southland from which to report via blogs, with an emphasis on the major schools and the major sports each season.

Don’t worry, Eric Sondheimer’s column will appear every Wednesday and Friday in the paper, and we will have a page devoted to high school sports in the paper every Wednesday of the football season.

You’ll hear more from me about our plans in my next post, but for now, when you turn to latimes.com/highschool or latimes.com/preps -- hey, here’s a thought: Why not bookmark these pages? Make them your home page! -- click on the blog for fresh takes on the Southland’s high school sports scene.
