EAST LANSING, Mich. – Aug. 11 –  A Football Playoff Semifinal game which went down to the wire highlights the eighth and final week of the "Best Of 2013-14” offerings on the MHSAA.tv Website.

For eight weeks over the Summer, the MHSAA.tv Website spotlighted some of the best tournament action from the 2013-14 school year, presenting four games each week.

Each contest is easily identified with a “Best Of 13-14” thumbnail on the home page of the MHSAA.tv Website.  Here’s a look at the games which will be featured from August 11-18:

•  Ithaca v. Montrose:   2013 Division 6 Football Playoff Semifinal.   Ithaca rallied to claim a 21-20 victory, which wasn’t secured until Travis Smith intercepted a Montrose pass with a minute to play, and then picked up a first down on a quarterback keeper on the subsequent drive.

•  Gladstone v. Unionville-Sebewaing:   2014 Division 3 Softball Final.  Amid chants of “U.P. Power” and “U-S-A,” the Braves made a third inning run-scoring double by Lexi Hongisto stand up and took the Division 3 Champions trophy across the Straits with a 2-1 over the Patriots.

•  DeWitt v. Richmond:    2014 Division 2 Baseball Semifinal.  Zach Leach pitched a complete-game four hitter, and Dillon McInerney drove in what proved to be the game-winning run with a sixth-inning double as Richmond advanced to the Final game with a 2-1 win over DeWitt.

•  Detroit Country Day v. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood:  2014 Division 2 Boys Lacrosse Final.  Emilio Sosa scored three goals and four other players had two goals apiece as Country Day cruised to a 12-8 victory over the Cranes.

During the course of the 2013-14 school year, over 3,000 events were produced on MHSAA.tv by PlayOn! Sports and MHSAA member schools participating in the School Broadcasting Program, covering everything from athletics to announcements to commencements to the performing arts and school board meetings.
