#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.

Variety of Events LIVE on MHSAA.tv

One of the great features of the MHSAA School Broadcast Program is that there’s no limit to the different types of activities that can be covered, and some of that diversity will be on display this coming week on the MHSAA.tv website.

Haslett High School’s SBP students will be streaming live coverage of a wrestling dual with Lansing Waverly on Wednesday (Jan. 7) at 6 p.m. and a bowling match with East Lansing on Thursday (Jan. 8) at 3:30 p.m. That’s in addition to a boys basketball game Tuesday (Jan. 6) against Ionia and a girls basketball contest next Tuesday (Jan. 13) with Williamston.

On Saturday (Jan. 10), Montrose will live stream a bowling match with Byron at 2 p.m. Montrose, the SBP Program of the Year in 2013-14, also has a boys basketball varsity stream with Corunna on Tuesday, and a girls-boys hoop deuce with Mount Morris on Friday (Jan. 9).

Mason High School is planning coverage of a girls gymnastics meet on Wednesday with East Lansing at 6:30 p.m., which will be shown On Demand following the event.

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.
