There will be live streaming audio and video coverage of the MHSAA Boys & Girls Lacrosse Finals on Saturday (June 8) on the MHSAA Network and MHSAA.tv.

The MHSAA’s audio streaming website – MHSAANetwork.com – goes back on the air for the last two weekends of the Spring sports tournament run for live coverage of the Lacrosse and Girls Soccer Finals, as well as the Semifinals and Finals in Baseball and Softball.

Here’s the complete Lacrosse Finals schedule with direct links to the live video streams on MHSAA.tv:

All events will be archived for free on-demand viewing, beginning three days after their completion. Subscriptions must be cancelled before the 30-day period is over to avoid recurring charges.

Instant audio and video downloads of events taking place on the MHSAA Network and MHSAA.tv will be available shortly following the conclusion of each stream. Click the appropriate button next to the media player of the broadcast to order. Audio downloads are $4.99. Video downloads are priced at $19.95.

MHSAA members participating in the School Broadcast Program will be providing bonus coverage during the final days of the spring sports season. SBP participants routinely stream MHSAA tournament events their schools host. 

Brighton is one of more than 100 SBP schools using the NFHS Network’s automated production solution – Pixellot – to produce games and has a Pixellot unit installed at its outdoor multi-purpose field. Brighton will provide Pixellot coverage of two Semifinal games Wednesday (June 6) in the MHSAA Girls Lacrosse Tournament. 

Here’s the schedule:

Division 2 – Okemos v. Bloomfield Hills Marian – 5:30 p.m.

Division 1 Hartland v. Brighton – 7:30 p.m.

Cedar Springs High School will cover a Division 3 Girls Soccer Semifinal at 6 p.m. on June 11 involving the winners of the Hope College and Clare Regionals. 

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.
 
NFHS Network subscriptions begin at $9.95 a month. 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. School Broadcast Program participants also sell Season and Annual Passes at a discounted rate. A portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program.

MHSAA TV Sets OAA Red Volleyball Race

October 15, 2019

By John Johnson

The chase for the Oakland Activities Association Red volleyball title will get a lot of attention on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network this week, with matches on Tuesday (Oct. 15) and Thursday (Oct. 17) that will determine the champion.

Clarkston enters the week on top of the Red at 5-0 in division play with Lake Orion and Rochester Hills Stoney Creek chasing the Wolves at 4-1. Lake Orion is at Stoney Creek on Tuesday, while Clarkston can clinch at least a share of the title hosting Rochester Adams (3-2) – both games will be streamed live on MHSAA.tv.  On Thursday, Clarkston at Troy (1-4) and Adams at Lake Orion will both be streamed live, while West Bloomfield (2-3) is at Stoney Creek.

Clarkston was the highest-ranked OAA team in last week’s statewide coaches poll, and Lake Orion was an honorable mention.

Among School Broadcast Program-produced football streams Friday (Oct. 18) is Grand Rapids Christian at East Grand Rapids for the lead in the Ottawa-Kent Conference Gold. Saline can clinch the Southeastern Conference Red title with a win over visiting Ann Arbor Pioneer, but a Pioneer win would put both teams tied at the top and possibly be joined by Temperance Bedford. Fowler is at Pewamo-Westphalia to determine the Central Michigan Athletic Conference crown.

Plus, Boys District Semifinal and Final games from a number of sites around the state will be streamed. Here’s the complete list of varsity-level events to be broadcast live during the coming week:
