For their work getting out the good word on sportsmanship and officials recruitment, respectively, Rockford and Canton were among those honored this spring with Michigan Student Broadcast Awards from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Foundation.

The MHSAA sponsors awards for Sports Public Service Announcement for both TV and radio. Rockford’s Payton Longeliere, Mylei Cullivan and Lindsay Carpenter won the TV category with “Sportsmanship – It’s Not That Hard” shown below:

The PSA was deemed suitable for broadcast and was shown on FOX Sports Detroit during the Basketball Finals and will be included in broadcasts on MHSAA.tv.

Additionally, Rockford’s Noah Ike, Noah Stallworth, Dimitra Colovos and Tatum Kleis were recognized as the top sports announcing team for TV, and Canton’s Jack Krumm and Max Mulvaney were the award-winning team for radio.

Now in its 11th 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 wishing to live stream games but lacking the ability to staff the events. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

NFHS Network subscriptions begin at $10.99 a month. Subscribers will have access to all live video and streaming statistics across the country. All content becomes available for free, on-demand viewing 72 hours after being shown live. School Broadcast Program participants benefit as a portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program. 

A complete list of participating schools can be found on the School Broadcast Program page of the MHSAA Website.
