There’s a new twist as the MHSAA Football Playoffs – powered by the Michigan Army National Guard – begin their seventh season on FOX Sports Detroit’s PrepZone. One of the four games each week also will be streamed on Facebook Live.
Each Monday for the first four weeks of the Playoffs, a FOX Sports Detroit Twitter poll will be conducted for 24 hours to select one game to be available on Facebook. This week’s poll was won by Livonia Franklin at Walled Lake Western, which garnered more than 50 percent of the vote.
The four live games each week will be free on the FOX Sports Detroit Website and will also be available to mobile users of FOX Sports GO! Authentication may be required to watch on FS GO!
Here’s this week’s PrepZone schedule. All games kick off Friday (Oct. 27) at 7 p.m.:
- Lowell at Flushing
- Livonia Franklin at Walled Lake Western
- Grand Rapids Christian at DeWitt
- Lansing Catholic at Olivet
In addition to the games on FOXSportsDetroit.com, a number of additional Playoff games this weekend will be streamed live on MHSAA.tv by School Broadcast Program participants. That schedule includes (all games Friday at 7 p.m.):
- Midland Dow at Traverse City West

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 is used by schools wishing to stream games but which lack the ability to staff the events. The SBP program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.
