#SocialStudies v12.0

May 10, 2012

Welcome back, video junkies! 

This week, for your viewing pleasure: a collection of baseball clips, plus one very bizarre (but entertaining) mascot race. 

1. Crash course

Remember all those times when your coach hollered something about "communication" or "ya'll gotta talk out there?"  I think this is the precise situation those statement were designed to prevent. Luckily for these outfielders, it all worked out in the end.


2.  Must've been a long road trip

We’re all acutely aware of zany activities that occur in team vans, busses and locker rooms. The Harvard baseball team, apparently, is no exception. Enjoy this extremely macho cover of the Top 40 smash “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen. As of this morning, nearly 2.1 million people have witnessed this greatness.


 3. Gold glover

Good to know that this can happen at any age, right?  For the record, this feat has only happened fifteen times in Major League Baseball history.


4. Highlanders, Mariners and Bears, oh my!

The Mascot Run has become must-see at the annual Algonac Muskrat Relays. Here's the 2009 version; the latest was run last weekend.


Does your team behave oddly on team trips? Haul the FlipCam out and film it!

We’d love to show it off here on #SocialStudies.

Highlights Return to MHSAA.tv

January 14, 2015

By John Johnson
MHSAA communications director

Weekly highlights from games produced by MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program return this week to the MHSAA.tv website.

This week’s highlights package features a showdown game from last week in the Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League between undefeated Detroit Catholic Central (No. 1 in Div. 1 coaches association rankings) and once-beaten Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood (No. 1 in Div. 3 coaches association rankings), which ended in a 1-1 tie.

A rivalry boys basketball game with Dowagiac defeating Niles, 58-55, and a North Star League girls basketball game which saw Posen top Hillman, 48-42, are the other SBP produced games from last week in the highlights package, which can be viewed below. 

Last week was a busy back-to-school week for SBP schools, with video from 46 events in eight sports and another 41 games with live basketball stats, all taking place on the MHSAA.tv portal.

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.
