#SocialStudies v6.0

March 8, 2012

Glad to have you back, video junkies.

This week on #SocialStudies, a smorgasbord of ridiculousness including (but not limited to) grenade avocados, tiny terrible soccer players and, of course, this guy…

1. When it Snows, it pours

Brian Snow, now-renowned amateur hoops announcer from Marist High School (near Chicago) has become a viral sensation this week after shredding his vocal chords on a series of playoff calls. We’ve taken the liberty of linking to the best here.

First playoff win, also known as “what greatness is all about in the IHSA.”


2. We can't get enough

Second playoff win, after overcoming a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit.  “My gracious!”


3. We can learn something here 

File this next one under well-produced and heart-warming. “l’equip petit” tells the story of a youth soccer team that has a serious problem: it can’t score goals. Consequently, wins are pretty tough to come by – but after watching this short film, I realized that wasn’t what mattered at all.


4. Seriously, fascinating

Here’s your non-sport awesomeness for the week: a stop-motion short about making guacamole.  Don’t question it: just watch and enjoy.


Remember: if you find something you think should make the grade here on #SocialStudies, send it on over! We’d love to see/hear/read what you’re digging on the World Wide Web each week. 

Until next time…

Girls soccer, baseball and softball games featuring a combined 21 teams from 16 schools were among student broadcasts uploaded last week to MHSAA.tv. 

Also, a pair of MHSAA Classics have been brought out of the vault, including a championship story told by one of the most recognizable voices in Michigan sports history.

Longtime Detroit Tigers broadcaster Paul Carey called the 1992 MHSAA Class D Baseball Final, an 8-7 win by Hillman over Athens that was decided in the bottom of the seventh inning. Also added this week was the 1992 Class B Softball Final between Hudsonville Unity Christian and Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central, another nail-biter, won by Unity Christian 7-6. The Hillman/Athens game is posted below, while the Unity Christian/St. Mary game can be found on MHSAA.tv.
