The top spots in divisions in two leagues are up for grabs this week on MHSAA.tv, part of a live video streaming buffet of over 75 events being produced by participants of the School Broadcast Program.

On Tuesday (Oct. 2), the top spot in the Oakland Activities Association Red in volleyball is on the line when No. 9 (Division 1 coaches poll) Rochester Hills Stoney Creek and No. 3 Lake Orion square off at Lake Orion at 7 p.m. Both are 4-0 in OAA play.

Then on Friday (Oct. 5), the Tri-Valley Conference East football title will be settled when Millington travels to Frankenmuth for a 7 p.m. clash. Both teams are 5-1 overall, 4-0 in league play, and ranked in the top 10 in different divisions in media polls this week.

The TVC also has another football match-up of top-ranked teams on MHSAA.tv this week. On Friday, Alma is at Freeland at 7 p.m. While both teams are tied for second behind No. 2-ranked (Division  5) Saginaw Swan Valley in the TVC Central, they are both in the top 10 in Division 4.

Five MHSAA tournament games have been added to the live schedule on MHSAA.tv this week, being produced by members participating in the School Broadcast Program.

The Division 2 Lower Peninsula Girls Soccer Regional at Cedar Springs will have all of its games streamed by the SBP at that school. Here's the schedule:

Tonight (June 6)

Thursday (June 8)

Cedar Springs also will stream the Division 3 Girls Soccer Semifinal between the winners of the Clare and Grand Rapids South Christian Regionals at 6 p.m. June 13.

Wednesday's (June 7) Semifinal games at East Lansing High School in the Girls Lacrosse Tournament also will be streamed. Here's the schedule:

"One of the things we ask of our SBP member schools is that they stream any tournament contest which takes place on their campus, even if they are not participating," said John Johnson, MHSAA Communications Director.  "We appreciate the work of schools like Cedar Springs and East Lansing to provide this content for MHSAA.tv."

A $9.95 subscription allows viewing of live content on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network for 30 days. On Saturday (June 10), the Finals of the Boys & Girls Lacrosse Tournaments will be shown live. Next weekend, MHSAA Finals in Lower Peninsula Girls Soccer (June 16-17) and Semifinals and Finals in Baseball and Softball (June 15-17) will be streamed live. All events will be archived for free on-demand viewing, beginning three days after their completion. Subscriptions must be cancelled before the 30-day period is over to avoid recurring charges.

In its eighth 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. 

The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.  

All sporting events – live or delayed – are available on a subscription basis only for their first 72 hours online.  They become available for free, on-demand viewing approximately 72 hours following their completion.

Schools interested in becoming a part of the School Broadcast Program should contact John Johnson at the MHSAA Office.
