Top-Ranked Clash on MHSAA.tv

January 21, 2015

A trio of contests highlight the live events being produced by MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program this week on the MHSAA.tv website.

Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood, the top-ranked team in the Division 3 ice hockey coaches association poll this week, has back-to-back contests with top-10 teams this weekend. On Friday (Jan. 23), the Cranes host the third-ranked team in Division 1, Detroit U-D Jesuit, in a key Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League game at 7:15 p.m.; and then on Saturday, face sixth-ranked Plymouth, with the game time to be announced.

On Tuesday (Jan. 19), Goodrich and Haslett squared off in girls basketball.  Haslett is ranked fourth in this week’s Associated Press Class B poll, and Goodrich is seventh.

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.
