MHSAA Minute Returns This Week
January 9, 2018
By John Johnson
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties
With the winter sports season fully underway, StateChamps! High School Sports Show returns with new weekly editions debuting each Sunday at 9 a.m. on Fox Sports Detroit – featuring a fresh series of messages called the MHSAA Minute.
The MHSAA Minute takes a look each week at different things happening in the life of the Association, from promoting educational programs to rules changes in high school sports. The first of two messages will air this week on high school rules changes in basketball. Archived editions of MHSAA Minute can be found on the StateChamps! YouTube Channel.
This week’s schedule of high school sporting events on MHSAA.tv produced by Association members taking part in the School Broadcast Program features 100 contests.
A total of 57 games at the varsity level are on the schedule for this week, with more to be added as the week progresses. Be sure to check Upcoming Events on the MHSAA.tv home page daily for last-minute additions.
In its ninth year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events, with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics. Pixellot – the NFHS Network’s automated streaming solution - is used by schools that wish to live stream games but lack the ability to staff the events. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions

Title IX at 50: Binder Among Voices Telling Our Story on MHSAA Network
By
Geoff Kimmerly
MHSAA.com senior editor
March 15, 2022
Women have gained a growing voice on MHSAA Network radio broadcasts, and Carolyn Binder’s is among those who listeners will enjoy during this weekend’s MHSAA Girls Basketball Semifinals and Finals.
Binder is the voice of the Mattawan Wildcats Network and has more than 15 years of experience in radio broadcast and play-by-play. She’ll be providing the play-by-play for all four Division 3 and 1 Semifinals on Thursday and Friday, respectively, and then those division’s championship games Saturday from Michigan State’s Breslin Center.
The 2009 Western Michigan University graduate leant her voice for both play-by-play and analysis of WMU women’s basketball during her time as a student, and since has been part of broadcasts of Midwest League baseball, Opening Day coverage of the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, Kalamazoo Central and Loy Norrix football and basketball and the USTA Junior National Championships played in Kalamazoo.
The MHSAA Network includes approximately 100 radio stations and web outlets across the state, with about 30 generally carrying the Girls Basketball Semifinals & Finals annually. Keep an ear open for Binder and her partner Lexi Ayala all weekend, and also Tara Fleming as she partners with Denny Kapp for the Division 2 and 4 girls games this weekend and Division 2 and 4 boys Semifinals and Finals next week.
