Each week, football fans can track the progress of a number of games across the state on the MHSAA.tv website through the NFHS Network’s partnership with Digital Scout.

Schools using Digital Scout to record game statistics can connect that game to the online crowd, and if the game has live streaming video, the two feeds will be integrated. Viewers must have a subscription to be able to access the live content. More than 40 football games this Friday (Sept. 9) are scheduled to stream live stats.

The NFHS Network has announced new pricing for 2016-17, eliminating the Day Pass and lowering the cost of a Month Pass to $9.95. Subscribers will have access to all live video and streaming statistics across the country. All content becomes available for free, on demand viewing 72 hours after being shown live. Some schools also will be selling Annual Passes at a discounted rate. A portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program.
