Streaming Games
This seems like a good time to let the audience know where games can be watched.
Most of you know about the NFHS Broadcast site. The site is nfhsnetwork.com and it shows 3 of the Girls games tomorrow. Many of you have read my diatribes about camera quality so there is no guarantee the 3 games will broadcast properly, but you won’t know until you check in:
The 3 are ESJ hosting Pensacola Catholic, AH-Delray hosting Saint Andrew’s (this camera is decent) and Lake Highland hosting Bishop Moore (mediocre stream).
You can also see there are Boys games on Saturday. Something else to keep in mind is that the NFHS has exclusive coverage of the Final Four games and it is more of a normal broadcast, with play-by-play. I was part of the broadcasts on Saturday, as the half-time analyst on all 4 finals games.
Four of the Saturday games are listed; Ponte Vedra hosts Nease, ESJ hosts Bolles, Plant hosts Newsome and St Thomas hosts Jupiter.
There are schools that broadcast on YouTube, like Saint Andrew’s does. Their YT channel is SAScots and the Boys game with SJP is there.
Some schools broadcast on Hudl, like Benjamin, so look for their home game with Bishop Moore to be there.
If others can provide me with streaming options for the Friday/Saturday games, send them to me at lee@floridalacrossenews.com
