February 24, 2014

Nearly 300 hours of live streaming video from MHSAA Championships in Girls Competitive Cheer and Individual Wrestling, plus Student Broadcast Program produced coverage of Girls Basketball Districts and Ice Hockey Regionals, will be available on the MHSAA.TV website as the March of Winter approaches its midway point.

The coverage begins Monday with School Broadcast Programs providing on demand coverage of Girls Basketball Districts and Ice Hockey Regionals, plus the last week of the regular season in Boys Basketball. Check the MHSAA.TV website for daily schedule updates.

Live streaming this week begins at 2 p.m. on Thursday (Feb. 27) from The Palace of Auburn Hills at the Individual Wrestling Finals. A dedicated camera will be on each of 12 mats on the floor, and include full graphics to indicate the participants in each match, plus full in-progress scoring information via Trackwrestling. Girls Competitive Cheer coverage begins Friday from The DeltaPlex in Grand Rapids. 

The continued Wrestling and full Cheer coverage is part of six straight weekends of live MHSAA Championship coverage on MHSAA.TV and online viewers can catch every weekend of action for one low cost of $14.95. A Month Pass on MHSAA.TV for $14.95 will give a viewer access to events over a 30-day period from the time it is purchased.  Over the next three weekends of live winter championship coverage, the following events will be featured:

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:
