Tipping Off 2014-15 Basketball Season
December 3, 2014

Are you ready for basketball season?
We are at the MHSAA, with schedules for nearly 1,500 girls and boys varsity teams to prove it.
The first girls games of 2014-15 were played Monday, and we're putting the finishing touches on each team's schedule page on our website at MHSAA.com that will allow everyone to follow those teams and league standings for each as games are played. But for a task this massive, I'm asking for a few moments of your double-checking help to make our scores and schedules the best available source of high school hoops information in Michigan.
As I mentioned, we along with our schools have entered varsity schedules for most of our teams. But some of the data we're seeking includes:
- Missing games, or changes to dates or times for games we've entered.
- Correct league standings, with the right teams in the right conferences.
- Matchups for tournaments and showcases, most of which will be played from mid-December through mid-January. We have events listed but most opponents "to be determined."
See something we can fix or have a schedule we're missing? Email me directly at [email protected] and we'll make the changes as soon as possible.
Entering scores is easy as well: Log in with a previously-created account, or click the "Register" link on the top right-hand corner of MHSAA.com, and create a new one in 30 seconds or less.
Thanks in advance. Your help will contribute to a valuable resource for thousands of players, coaches and fans all over the state and beyond.
