In its ninth year, 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. Pixellot is used by schools wishing to live stream games, but lacking the ability to staff the events. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

A complete list of participating schools can be found on the School Broadcast Program page of the MHSAA website.

Highlights of games produced in the past week by MHSAA School Broadcast Program members feature last weekend’s Upper Peninsula Swimming & Diving Finals.

Highlights can be found each week on the MHSAA.tv website, the home page of the MHSAA Website, and the MHSAASports Channel on YouTube.

With the winter sports season fully underway, StateChamps! High School Sports Show returns with new weekly editions debuting each Sunday at 9 a.m. on Fox Sports Detroit – featuring fresh editions of the MHSAA Minute.

The MHSAA Minute takes a look each week at different things happening in the life of the Association, from promoting educational programs to rules changes in high school sports. This week’s Minute takes a look at the School Broadcast Program – and as part of its salute to Black History Month, MHSAA Assistant Director Nate Hampton will be featured. Archived editions of MHSAA Minute can be found on the StateChamps! YouTube Channel.

D3 Hoop Powers Clash On MHSAA TV

January 15, 2019

MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties

A battle of two of the top-ranked girls basketball teams in in the state and rivalry games to the South and North on the hardwood head this week’s MHSAA.tv schedule, which again is offering more than 250 events produced by School Broadcast Program participants.

The top-ranked girls basketball team in Division 2 and two-time reigning Class C champion Detroit Edison (9-1) will travel to play the second-ranked team in Division 3, Pewamo-Westphalia (6-0), at 6 p.m. Monday (Jan. 21). The two teams faced each other in the 2017 Class C Final, with Edison registering a 46-44 victory, and they also met in the Semifinals in 2018 with Edison again prevailing, 50-39.

It’s the first of two big nonconference home games in two weeks for Pewamo-Westphalia, which will host reigning Class B champion Detroit Country Day on Feb. 1.

A Detroit Catholic League Central girls showdown of once-beaten Farmington Hills Mercy (6-1) and unbeaten Bloomfield Hills Marian (7-0) takes place at 7 p.m. Friday (Jan. 18) at Marian. Both teams are 2-0 in league play, and Marian is ranked among the top 10 in this week’s Division 1 media polls.

About 260 miles to the north, Pellston’s boys team (9-1) will host Gaylord St. Mary (5-2) at 7 p.m. Wednesday (Jan. 16) for the lead spot in the Ski Valley Conference. Pellston is ranked among the top 10 in Division 4.
