FirstString, an online social community devoted to high school athletics launched today. The new community brings the playing field to the web by automatically connecting athletes within the same conference or division - similar to Facebook. Users can then instantly converse with one another, post photos, videos, awards, press, coordinate schedules and stay up to date on player stats.

"FirstString has devoted a great amount of time and energy in simulating the competitive dynamics of high school athletics to the Web," said Jonathan Eppers, Founder and President, FirstSting. "FirstString is built to deliver engaging and relevant content that is happening on the field and inside the school district. Our team is very excited to deliver such an exclusive community that touches high school athletics in a local way, and will continue building features that enhance the on-field experience."

A pretty cool site for high school athletes.

On another note, their blog showcases site updates and news revolving the site and who's working with the site. Ray Romano, George Lopez and Andy Garcia all had good things to say about FirstString. Visit the blog. Could be the next big socially-based concept that blows up online.
