The MHSAA Network gets started for the 2018-19 school year this week, with live streaming football on MHSAA.tv.

The MHSAA.tv Website starts the 2018 football season with the NFHS Network streaming 11 games in three days from the Vehicle City Gridiron Classic at Flint and the Battle at the Big House in Ann Arbor on Thursday, the Thursday and Friday games at the Prep Kickoff Classic in Detroit and the West Michigan Sports Commission Gridiron Classic in Allendale on Saturday.

The MHSAA School Broadcast Program will be involved at three of the four sites for the NFHS Network this weekend. Montrose High School will produce the games at Flint. Lake Orion High School will produce the games in Ann Arbor, and Cedar Springs High School will produce the games at Allendale.

Topping off the weekend’s streaming activity will be a number of games being produced by other members of the MHSAA School Broadcast Program – which has experienced great growth since last year due to the NFHS Network’s automated production solution, Pixellot. Three dozen schools will be utilizing a total of 50 Pixellot units in the year ahead, with some schools installing multiple units to cover outdoor and indoor events.

All sporting events – live or delayed – are available on a subscription basis only for their first 72 hours online. They become available for free, on-demand viewing approximately 72 hours following their completion.

D3 Hoop Powers Clash On MHSAA TV

January 15, 2019

By John Johnson
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.

In its 10th 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 – the NFHS Network’s automated streaming solution – is used by schools wishing to live stream games but lacking the ability to staff events. The SBP also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

Here’s the upcoming MHSAA.tv schedule of video streams being produced by School Broadcast Program members and the NFHS Network:
