The MHSAANetwork.com Web site is the Internet audio home for MHSAA Finals in a variety of sports; carries the weekly commentary, MHSAA Perspective; and is providing MHSAA member schools the opportunity to broadcast audio of their athletic events. Coverage of the morning races in Divisions 3 and 4 will begin shortly before 10 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday; and afternoon coverage is projected to start shortly before 1:30 p.m. for Division 1 and 2 action. The audio commentary will be the public address feed from MIS, where a pair of announcers, working with spotters at different vantage points around the course, will be able to keep fans on site and on the Internet, abreast of race developments. Soccer coverage will begin at Noon with the Division 3 championship match between Detroit Country Day and Grand Rapids South Christian from Crestwood Middle School in East Kentwood and the Division 4 final between Auburn Hills Oakland Christian and Muskegon Western Michigan Christian at Troy Athens High School.

In addition to the live coverage, all of the events will be archived for on-demand listening. The MHSAA Internet Broadcast Network is powered by EZStream.com. The MHSAA is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by over 1,600 public and private senior high schools and junior high/middle schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the MHSAA, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools. Member schools which enforce these rules are permitted to participate in MHSAA tournaments, which attract approximately 1.6 million spectators each year. -0- RL08-028 AT&T, Farm Bureau Insurance Henry Ford Health Systems and MEEMIC Insurance Company
