#SocialStudies v3.0

February 15, 2012

If you were able to escape all 4,864 angles of the NBA’s hottest sensation Jeremy Lin going “rags-to-riches” all over the Internet this week, you might’ve discovered these little morsels scattered about.

1. Phi Slama Jama

By now, you've figured out that we're dunk fans (who isn't?). ... The title of this clip might be a little hyperbolic, but it's still a pretty nifty jam.  I imagine the play-call went something like this: "Okay.  Whistle blows, you run, I'll heave it."


2. Just like the pros

It was bound to happen sooner or later ... ice hockey makes its long-awaited #SocialStudies debut in Week 3. Reigning Division 1 runner-up Orchard Lakes St. Mary will look to return to CompuWare Arena in March; for now, senior captain Luke Rodgers (#87) is content to flaunt some "stick trickery."


3. It's almost time

One of our most popular and well-liked promo pieces resurfaces this week: the Individual Wrestling Championships will take place March 1-3 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Tickets are available for purchase through the Palace Box Office starting at 9 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 29.

For now: get hyped.


4.  'This is crazy'

And lastly, a non-video story that caught our attention.  Social networks like Facebook and Twitter instigate a smattering of negative celebrity chatter – and rightly so, in some cases. But, on occasion, there are tales of someone using a service to extend itself in a capacity that wasn’t available a decade ago.

CNBC’s Darren Rovell writes about an astonishing week in the lives of a Twitter fan and a superstar (who formerly starred at Central Michigan).

That's it for 3.0. Remember, if you see something high school sports-related online that the rest of us must see, or if you videoed something yourself, upload it to Youtube and send it on over. It could make next week's #SocialStudies line-up.

Highlights Return to MHSAA.tv

January 14, 2015

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.
