Now Showing: Best of Spring, part 1
August 5, 2014
Spring sports championships dominate the final two weeks of the "Best of 2013-14” offerings on the MHSAA.tv Website, which is in its seventh week.
For eight weeks over the summer, MHSAA.tv will spotlight some of the best tournament action from the 2013-14 school year, presenting four games each week.
Each contest is easily identified with a “Best of 13-14” thumbnail on the home page of the MHSAA.tv Website. Here’s a look at the games which will be featured from August 4-11:
Gladstone v. Decatur: 2014 Division 3 Baseball Semifinal. Cody Huston delivered a two-out single in the bottom of the eighth inning to drive in the game-winning run and pitched a complete game one-hitter in Decatur’s 2-1 decision over Gladstone.
Utica Eisenhower v. Northville: 2014 Division 1 Girls Soccer Final. Jamie Cheslik had a goal and an assist to lead Northville to a 2-1 win. Emily Maresh had seven saves in goal for the winners.
Eaton Rapids v. Grand Rapids South Christian: 2014 Class B Girls Basketball Final. Allie Dittmer posted a double-double with a game-high 26 points and 13 rebounds as Eaton Rapids won its first-ever MHSAA girls championship with a 51-38 victory over South Christian.
Bay City Western v. Portage Central: 2014 Division 1 Softball Final. Western scored twice in the first and sixth frames and got three-hit pitching from Hannah Leppek to win the Division 1 title, 4-2
DVD’s of the “Best of 13-14” game videos are available through the MHSAA.tv Website.
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:
