I first try to go to the visiting teams radio station once I see who they have played. Most of the time, I have that persons contact information, and they will send it to me and I will reciprocate if needed. If that doesn't work, I will go through the principal/AD, and then the coach. If no school personal AD or Coach wants to send then I will try and get it from scorer night of game. If that doesn't work, and the coach doesn't take a couple of minutes to email it back, that is on him. I would hate for one his or her players to go for 40 and all the crowd knows is a number. (This coming from a former coach in football and baseball).
And I agree, football is way easier than basketball.
