Soccer's Best Kick Off on MHSAA.TV
September 24, 2013
This week's list of MHSAA.TV broadcasts includes a matchup of two of the top soccer teams in Division 2 plus first-time looks this season at the Zeeland West and Frankenmuth football teams.
Top-ranked East Lansing's victory over DeWitt on Saturday kept the Trojans atop the division, while DeWitt fell from No. 3 to No. 6 in Monday's rankings. That win is one of three by East Lansing available from last week.
Take a look at the list of events below brought to us by the School Broadcast Program, plus lend a listen to this week's MHSAA Perspective and our weekly MHSAA.TV highlights:

#SocialStudies v8.0
April 5, 2012
Happy Spring Break, #SocialStudies regulars! It's been a quiet week in our office with many Lower Peninsula schools off all week -- but I still managed to dig up some web gems for your perusal. *Beach umbrella optional.
1. Fore real?
Oh, professional golfers. Do they even know? They can't possibly understand how difficult this game is for the rest of us; I look like a toddler aimlessly swinging a metal stick while teetering around well-shorn grass plateaus.
The 2012 Masters Tournament tees off today -- and players in the field lurked around Augusta earlier this week, reading greens and testing the waters, if you will. One such tester? Martin Kaymer, who tees off second in this clip. I'd suggest watching the entire 37 seconds.
2. Floored by this performance
This woman is named Johanna Quaas, and she is 86 years old. Read that twice for effect. Here's her floor routine (yes, FLOOR ROUTINE!) at a gymnastics tournament called “Turnier Der Meister,” or Tournament of Masters, at the 2012 Cottbus World Cup in Germany.
3. Watch the guys who are supposed to be defending
In Iowa, it looks like mash-up sporting might be the next big thing. I think this play could be called a roll-out?
4. Moves like Stokkebroe
We opened with an octogenarian doing something amazing; and I think it's appropriate to bookend things with this little heart-breaker. William Stokkebroe is 2 years old, and wee man can flat-out shake it. Try not to smile: Dare you.
As always -- if you find something worthy of us watching, send it over. Links, photos, stories ... whatever strikes your fancy that week. Make it part of our #SocialStudies!
