A high percentage of this week’s Michigan High School Athletic Association playoff games for football and boys soccer will be broadcast on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network, followed by a significant number of opening volleyball tournament matches next week.
Three rounds remain in the MHSAA Boys Soccer Tournament, and MHSAA.tv will broadcast 10 Regional Finals (of 16 to be played), including seven on Thursday (Oct. 28). The 11- and 8-Player Football Playoffs kick off Friday and Saturday, and MHSAA.tv will broadcast more than 100 (of 144 total) football games as well.
The MHSAA Volleyball Tournament begins Monday with District play, and more than 50 matches are currently part of the MHSAA.tv broadcast schedule. The regular-season schedule finishes up this weekend with nearly 70 matches to be broadcast Oct. 28-30.
Additionally, MHSAA media partner Bally Sports Detroit will continue its weekly live cable TV broadcasts with Friday’s Division 1 District Semifinal of Clinton Township Chippewa Valley (6-3) traveling to Troy (8-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on BSD’s primary channel. The game also may be watched on the BSD website and app.
