Tournament Streams Ahead in 4 Sports

October 29, 2019

It will be a very busy week of live video and audio streaming of MHSAA Tournament activity on the MHSAA.tv, MHSAANetwork.com and FOXSportsDetroit.com websites.
 
The centerpiece of the next seven days comes Saturday (Nov. 2), when the Boys Soccer Finals will have live audio and video streaming of its championship games from Novi and Comstock Park High Schools. Two games will be played at each site with the game times set for noon and 3 p.m. The finalists will be determined following Semifinal play Wednesday (Oct. 30), with four of those games being streamed live on MHSAA.tv.
 
Saturday’s coverage also will include the Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. The Finish Line Cam will capture the opening 800 meters of the race on the infield of the track and the conclusion of the race beginning between the third and fourth turns on the oval. The Finish Line Cam also will feature commentary throughout each race from reporters on the course. Weather permitting, coverage also may include the awards presentations and a camera showing the runners just past the two-mile mark of the race before reentering the oval at MIS.
 
Lots of Football Playoff games will take place beginning Friday evening with three featured games on the FOX Sports Detroit Prep Zone. The Prep Zone games can be seen on FoxSportsDetroit.com and on FOX Sports Go! for handheld and streaming devices like Roku. Here are this weekend’s games, all at 7 p.m. Friday:

  • White Lake Lakeland at Plymouth (Div. 2)
  • Rochester Adams at Utica Eisenhower (Div. 2)
  • DeWitt at East Lansing (Div. 3)

MHSAA.tv will play host to 30 Pre-District Football Playoff games over the weekend, most produced by participants in the School Broadcast Program. The NFHS Network is providing bonus coverage of two additional games Friday – Brighton at Holt in Division 1 and Pinckney at Coldwater in Division 3.
 
On Monday (Nov. 4), a record number of District matches in the MHSAA Volleyball Tournament will have opening night streaming video. Over the course of the first week of the playoffs, action will be streamed from 25 tournament centers.
 
The unprecedented coverage in Football, Soccer and Volleyball this fall is due to the addition of Pixellot, the NFHS Network’s automated production solution at a growing number of MHSAA member schools. The number of active Pixellot schools now stands at 84, with nearly 30 additional schools awaiting installation at their stadiums, gymnasiums, or both venues.  As a result, the number of events produced by School Broadcast Program participants has passed the 2,000 mark already this school year.
