Highlights Return to MHSAA.tv
January 14, 2015

Weekly highlights from games produced by MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program return this week to the MHSAA.tv website.
This week’s highlights package features a showdown game from last week in the Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League between undefeated Detroit Catholic Central (No. 1 in Div. 1 coaches association rankings) and once-beaten Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood (No. 1 in Div. 3 coaches association rankings), which ended in a 1-1 tie.
A rivalry boys basketball game with Dowagiac defeating Niles, 58-55, and a North Star League girls basketball game which saw Posen top Hillman, 48-42, are the other SBP produced games from last week in the highlights package, which can be viewed below.
Last week was a busy back-to-school week for SBP schools, with video from 46 events in eight sports and another 41 games with live basketball stats, all taking place on the MHSAA.tv portal.
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.

#SocialStudies V 2.1
September 13, 2012
By Andi Osters
Second Half social media guru
Welcome back, video mongers! A new school year has begun, and with it #SocialStudies 2.0.
Ready for your weekly dose of clips to peep? I hope so.
A quick refresher on #SocialStudies – I give you a selection of video clips I spotted in my never-ending quest to find the end of the Internet (which I’m convinced involves a cat video of some sort). These videos will typically highlight the amazing, dazzling, funny or weird side of sports – some high school, some college, some pro… and some which defy categorization.
And sometimes, we’ll simply show you a clip that is interesting and/or unique enough to be worth sharing.
We welcome your submissions and ideas for this weekly feature, so feel free to email us a link or raw footage. Seriously: we love videos. That said, let’s get to the meat & potatoes.
1. Give him a hand (he needs only one)
Here’s a high school football player from South Carolina who apparently was born with mattress springs attached to his legs instead of feet. The slo-mo replay of this interception (courtesy of PlayOn! Sports) is simply jaw-dropping.
2. Oh, Buddy ...
If Blake Griffin was at a gymnasium and I also happened to be in that very same gymnasium, I would absolutely tell my dignity to have a seat and allow that monster NBA dunk-master slam one over my head. I’d probably react to the experience just like this guy did, too.
3. Swing, swing a song
And now, for something completely un-sporty. Well, almost. There’s definitely activity happening in this brief short about an art installation in Montreal. I’m always fascinated by the intersection of musical creation and physical motion. Enjoy this giant human-powered instrument.
4. Summer School
And file this last one under In-Case-You-Missed-It-Over-The-Summer – here’s a recap of our Student Advisory Council’s 2nd Annual camp retreat to Mystic Lake in June. The 16-member council enjoyed time on the high ropes course, team building activities, bonfires and strategizing an action plan for the 2012-13 school year.
That's enough for this school year's first lesson. See something over the weekend that caught your eye? Snag something at a pep assembly that we should see? Upload it to YouTube and send it on over.
You might just see it on Second Half’s #SocialStudies.
