June 5, 2013

The Finals of the MHSAA Girls and Boys Lacrosse Tournaments will be available on the Internet Saturday as the MHSAA Network will have live dedicated video and audio streams of the championship games at East Grand Rapids and Rockford.

It’s the second straight weekend of live video online championship coverage on MHSAA.tv, and the first of two weekends of audio coverage on MHSAANetwork.com.

The Girls Lacrosse Finals at Rockford High School will have the Division 2 game start things off at 2 p.m., with the winners of Wednesday’s Semifinal games pitting East Grand Rapids vs. Okemos, and Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood against Livonia Ladywood.  The Division 1 game follows at 4:30 p.m., where the winners of Semis between Rockford and Hartland, and Bloomfield Hills Lahser and Ann Arbor Pioneer will play.

Action in the Boys Lacrosse Finals at East Grand Rapids High School also begins at 2 p.m.  The first game will be the Division 1 finale between the winners of Wednesday’s Semifinal games – Birmingham Brother Rice vs. Clarkston, and Grand Rapids Forest Hills Eastern/Northern vs. South Lyon.  The second game at 4:30 p.m. is in Division 2, where Semifinal winners from the Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central vs. Detroit Country Day, and Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood against East Grand Rapids will square off.

All of the live video streams are free and will be archived on the MHSAA.tv Website.  DVDs will also be available at MHSAA.tv.

Next weekend, MHSAA.tv will carry live video of the Baseball-Softball Finals on June 15, beginning at 9:30 a.m.; and the Girls Soccer Finals on June 15, beginning at Noon.

The Track & Field action continues on the MHSAA.tv website this week, as the running event finals will be added to the site as individual events for on demand viewing.

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:
