Each week, MHSAA.tv features highlights of events produced by schools involved in the MHSAA School Broadcast Program.
This week's package includes clips from the Paw Paw/Plainwell and Pellston/Onaway girls basketball and Detroit Catholic Central/Trenton ice hockey games.
Two of the top Class C girls basketball teams in the Upper Peninsula square off in their only regular-season meeting to lead the schedule of the games that can been seen over the next week on a subscription basis on MHSAA.tv, produced by students involved in the MHSAA’s School Broadcast Program.
Defending Class C champion Calumet, the top-ranked team statewide, will host Negaunee next Tuesday (Feb.9) at 7:30 p.m. Both are undefeated in league play. Calumet entered this week 11-0 overall, 4-0 in the West PAC Conference; while Negaunee was 10-2 overall and 7-0 in the Mid-Peninsula Conference. The two teams could meet again in the MHSAA Regional Semifinals at Marquette on March 8.
In its seventh 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.
