Live Stats, Games on MHSAA.tv

December 9, 2014

Another feature offered on the MHSAA.tv website is the availability of live basketball stats at member schools using the Digital Scout platform for their in-game statistics keeping.

Digital Scout is a division of PlayOn! Sports, which powers the NFHS Network.  Schools input statistics live using a handheld device. When connected to the Internet, those stats stream live on a school’s portal page and on the MHSAA portal page. For those games which have live streaming video and live stats, they are incorporated onto a single page to enhance the viewer’s experience.

Last week, live stats were available for over a dozen girls basketball games, along with a similar number of basketball and ice hockey games with live streaming video from MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program; those numbers will only grow now that the boys basketball season has begun.

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.

Here’s the schedule of School Broadcast Program members planning to cover varsity competition this week for broadcast at MHSAA.tv  (As of Dec. 8).  The following events will be shown live:
