Breckenridge will look to clinch a share of the Mid-State Activities Conference title Friday when it hosts Merrill in one of 11 football games this Friday with live streaming video on MHSAA.tv being produced by members of the School Broadcast Program.
The Huskies may be off to their best start in school history at 6-0 overall, 5-0 in MSAC play; with Merrill tied with Carson City-Crystal for second at 4-1 in the league. The Vandals are 5-1 in all games.
In its eighth 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.
The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.
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.
