EAST LANSING – The Final games of the 2007 Michigan High School Athletic Association Girls Volleyball Tournament on Saturday will be available for live viewing online through the MHSAA Internet Broadcast Network – mhsaanetwork.com.
For the past few years, the MHSAA has streamed live audio of the semifinal and final games of a variety of tournaments, including girls volleyball. This will be the first time the Association will stream live video through its broadcast Web site.
The video stream will be the MHSAA-produced telecast of the four championship matches which can be watched on FSN Detroit the weekend of April 7-8.
Mark Crawford and Todd Arner will again handle the play-by-play duties for the matches, and Lynn Rosendale will provide the color commentary.
The broadcast schedule begins with the Class D Final at Noon on Saturday, followed by Class C at 2 p.m.; Class A at 4 p.m.; and Class B at 6 p.m.
The online production is a collaborative effort between the MHSAA, One Putt Productions, and Advanced Video Service, in cooperation with the Association's online broadcast provider, EZStream.com.
Audio will again be available of all semifinal and final matches. Joe Jason, former owner of WDOW and Q-92 FM in Dowagiac, and Ken Delaney will share the play-by-play duties of those games, with Dean Hadden and Julie Klein sharing the color commentary.
Semifinal action begins at 2 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
This is the second of three straight weekends of MHSAA Finals that will be broadcast on www.mhsaanetwork.com.
Last weekend, approximately 3,000 total listeners, over 2,500 of them live, listened to broadcasts of the
Ice hockey semifinals and finals. Next weekend, the network will provide coverage of the boys basketball semifinals and finals.
