New Features and Updates for Our Website:
- Leopard Nation will be working with Boys Basketball Coach Tom Siegfried to create a highlight archive of past Leopards Boys Basketball Games from the early 1990’s to the present. (If anyone, coach or fan, has any other film from any Leopards sport and would like to have it converted to digital and uploaded please email me at louisvilleleopards.org@gmail.com). We will be purchasing new equipment to convert analog VHS tapes to digital media files ready for upload. This project should get underway during the Summer, when there are less athletics to cover.
- Also coming this Summer (and sooner as we upload it), we will be uploading the history of Louisville athletics in each sport. Football is already complete and we also have basketball back to the 1980’s, but more sports and more information will be continuously uploaded so keep browsing under the top navigation bar to surf through the vast information. If anyone has any information on this, please email me!
