Our Scoreboard = Your Scoreboard
December 6, 2011
We've undertaken a pretty major endeavor at the MHSAA this winter.
At this moment on Dec. 6, we have roughly 70 percent of all boys and girls basketball games scheduled by our teams for this winter entered into our system -- with the goal of keeping an up-to-date record of every schedule, every score and every league's standings.
That 70 percent might sound like barely passing -- until one considers that's more than 10,000 of a possible 15,000 games that will be played by MHSAA schools this winter.
It's a massive effort. Our athletic administrators, secretaries and coaches have helped a ton. But we'd greatly appreciate your help as well.
Like with football in the fall, anyone can report a score, tell us if we have one incorrect, or add an entire schedule at any time. Just go through a quick registration on our site, and become part of what we hope will be an impressive and useful library of information..
Click here to check out tonight's statewide schedule, or search for any night's games for the entire season. Click on a school name or search under "Schools" to see what we have for that team's full schedule. (Postseason games will be added later.)
And click here for the quick registration (it takes 15 seconds or fewer) if you'd like to give us a hand.

June 28, 2012
A total of 97 schools won one or more of the 127 team Finals championships awarded by the Michigan High School Athletic Association during the 2011-12 school year. Four schools – Grosse Pointe South, Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice, Marquette and Houghton – tied for the high with four championships apiece.
A total of 18 schools won multiple titles, including Birmingham Seaholm, which won in Division 2 girls tennis and is the primary school in the Birmingham United co-op program that won in Division 1 girls lacrosse. In addition to those schools that won four championships, four more won three titles: Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood, St. Ignace, Detroit Country Day and Ishpeming Westwood.
One-third of this year’s champions – 43 of the 127 – were repeat winners from 2010-11. Of those multiple winners, 19 claimed titles for at least the third straight season. The Lake Leelanau St. Mary boys golf team’s Lower Peninsula Division 4 title was its school’s first MHSAA championship in any sport.
Sixteen of the MHSAA's 28 championship tournaments are unified, involving teams from the Upper and Lower Peninsulas, while separate competition to determine titlists in both Peninsulas is conducted in remaining sports.
