Franklin TV: MIAA on Officiating
The Challenges and Rewards of Refereeing Sports.
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 03/12/2023
If there is one venue where parental passions tend to run hot, it’s school sports. The folks who officiate games often take the brunt of many an overwrought complaint.

| Franklin TV: MIAA on Officiating |
However, they know that feelings can run deep, and they try to take it all in stride.
The discussion was upbeat, and focused on how all involved; coaches, officials and parents – how everyone can help to make the student experience positive while promoting good sportsmanship. Jay, Pete, our guest officials and MIAA’s Rich Pearson covered it all in an informed conversation worth watching.
Watch for this and other episodes about all the ins-and-outs of school sports on, ‘Winning Ways with MIAA’.
Thanks for listening to 102.9 wfpr●fm.

"Winning Ways" - an MIAA TV Program Produced by Franklin.TV (video)
High School sporting events are without doubt among the most popular programs covered by your local community TV channel. Now, we at the MIAA are reaching out across Massachusetts with our own TV program, "Winning Ways", to highlight the great schools, coaches and players that make high school sports - and students - all that they can be.
Each episode will delve into aspects of the MIAA's mission. As we continue to Grow Courageous Leaders, we'll also visit (via Zoom and in-person) with schools, athletic directors, coaches, teams and notable players. Every school has a great story to tell, and we want to highlight those journeys to excellence.
Our episodes will be released by Franklin.TV regularly for download and rebroadcast on your local PEG channel(s) via MMX, the Mass Media Exchange Server. There is absolutely no cost, and we encourage you to contact your local PEG studio to include our program in their broadcast schedule. It can be an informative and inspiring addition, especially before or after school games.
Our first episode of "Winning Ways" is slated for release in Mid-February. We invite you to be featured in a future episode.

MIAA: Winter Tournament Seeding Process Updates
Winter Tournament Seeding Process
Winter Tournament Seeds Released February 25
WINTER TOURNAMENT SEEDING PROCESS
During the Fall 2022 season the MIAA launched an effort to streamline the production of the final power rankings, and create a smoother process of building and releasing the tournament brackets. These new guidelines once again will be used by sport tournament directors, seeding committees, and MIAA staff for the Winter 2023 postseason in Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Boys Ice Hockey and Girls Ice Hockey.
CUTOFF DATE – Thursday, February 23: All regular-season games in Basketball and Hockey must be completed by the end of the night in order to be included in the power rankings, postseason records and qualification requirements. Scores must be recorded into Arbiter before the end of the night.
WORKING DAY – Friday, February, 24: The season data from Arbiter will be collected by MIAA staff as of the 4 AM report.
By 9 AM, staff will produce and publish a report on MIAA.net with each team's record (broken down by division, listed alphabetically by school), and all schedules and score data as reported to Arbiter throughout the season. No power rankings data will be published at this time.
If there are any changes that need to be made from that point, they must be communicated BY EMAIL to either the MIAA sport-specific liaison or tournament liaison.
BOYS, GIRLS BASKETBALL - Peter Smith - psmith@miaa.netBOYS, GIRLS HOCKEY - Richard Pearson - rpearson@miaa.netTOURNAMENT LIAISON - Jim Clark - jclark@miaa.net
Information entered directly into Arbiter will not be valid after 4 AM on the Working Day.
Schools will have 24 hours to report any corrections, and tournament officials/MIAA staff will also have the same 24 hours to track down any missing scores, and make any corrections to the data. Any changes or corrections to existing score data must be verified IN WRITING by both schools.
BRACKET/SEEDING DAY – Saturday, February 25: At 9 AM, the data will be considered FINAL and no more changes will be made. The final data will be used to create the final power rankings, which will be published along with the brackets on the following scheduled release times:
BOYS, GIRLS HOCKEY: 10 AM & BOYS, GIRLS BASKETBALL: 1 PM
The initial bracket release will include only matchup information, and brackets subsequently will be updated by tournament directors and MIAA staff with dates, times and sites for individual matchups.

Addressing Hate in School Sports Statement from the MIAA and M.A.S.S - Addressed to School Superintendents
An Update from Executive Director Robert Baldwin
Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA)
Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA)
"We are all deeply troubled by the dis-regulated behaviors that continue to occur in interscholastic athletics, our schools and in our communities. We know you join us in taking very seriously our responsibility to help instill in student athletes a commitment to behaving with the utmost respect and dignity.
Over the past two years in particular, our country has begun a profound reckoning on race and racism. Many of our schools and districts are grappling with these topics and striving to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. MASS and the
MIAA are committed to engaging deeply in this work, too - so that we can make a difference in eradicating racism and all other forms of bias and hatred.
One of the greatest benefits of interscholastic sports is the opportunity to meet and interact with students from other communities and backgrounds. It is essential that students and adults approach those interactions with respect and civility. We believe we have a significant opportunity to begin placing greater emphasis on some of our other core responsibilities - particularly educational athletics, which includes sportsmanship and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On December 8, over 400 district leaders (superintendents, principals and athletic directors) participated in the Addressing Hate in School Sports Conference hosted by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office at the TD Garden. We are ready to initiate the next phase of this comprehensive plan with 13 regional trainings across Massachusetts. The two½ day trainings will be held on Friday and Saturday dates between March and May of this school year.
To be successful, a district training, comprised of a team of Superintendent, High School Principal, and Athletic Director that lead with one clear message regarding norms and expectations for behavior all sports programs, is imperative. The program delivered by the Northeastern Center for the Study of Sport in Society is designed to help this leadership team be better prepared to set the tone and expectations of your program to prevent incidents of bias, harassment, and discrimination - and to respond effectively to incidents when they do arise.
An email with the link to register for these trainings will be sent to you the week following February vacation. As superintendent for your district, you will be responsible for formally registering up to three district staff - preferably yourself, your High School Principal, and your Athletic Director - for attendance at one regional training. We are grateful for your leadership in encouraging your district's staff to prioritize attendance at these important trainings.
Let's begin the task of eradicating hate and bias to ensure that no one engaged in interscholastic athletics feels disrespected, unsafe, or unwelcome - on or off the playing fields. We believe that a united leadership utilizing the platform of interscholastic athletics can permeate our schools, communities, and society."

Franklin.TV: Winning Ways - All about our high school kids, as courageous leaders
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 02/12/2023
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, MIAA and the MSAA, Massachusetts School Administrators Association team up with Franklin TV to produce a new TV series highlighting excellent student athletes across the state. The series will be available through local public access channels.
Who are these dedicated student leaders of tomorrow? Peabody’s Penny Spack and Pentucket’s Henry Brien are both excellent examples.
Penny Spack is a senior at Peabody High School. She has a 4.07 GPA and is ranked 6th out of 403 students. Her intended major in college is Math and Neuroscience. She is currently on the Mayor's Leadership Council and taking six Advanced Placement classes: Literature, Physics, Economics, Calculus, European History, and Spanish. She received AP Scholar with Distinction in both 2022 and 2021 as well received Exceeding Expectations in Math and English on the MCAS in 2021.
 |
| Jay Horrigan and Pete Royce, Penelope Spack, Executive Director Bob Baldwin. They discuss Penelope’s selection as MIAA’s Student Athlete of the month. |
Penny is a force in the classroom and in athletics. She is a three-sport captain in Ice Hockey, Soccer, and Softball with All Star honors in two of the three. She is currently tied as the leading scorer on the Peabody/Lynnfield/North Reading girls hockey team with 13 points (9 goals, 4 assists). In total, she has points in 12 out of 14 games. This is an impressive feat given she is a defenseman and the overall depth we have in our top ten ranked program. The Boston Herald named her a Defensive Player to Watch for the 2022-2023 season and was selected as a Boston Globe Player of the Week on January 17, 2023.
Henry Brien is an outstanding student at Pentucket Regional High School. He is currently taking the following courses: AP Biology, AP Statistics, Honors Pre- Calculus, Honors World History, Honors World Literature and Composition. Henry is a High Honors student enrolled in arguably the most difficult courses offered at Pentucket, and earned a 4.3 GPA for the 2nd quarter. His term GPA for the 1st quarter (taking the same courses) was a 4.6.
 |
| Jay Horrigan and Pete Royce, Henry Brien, Executive Director Bob Baldwin. They discuss Henry’s selection as MIAA’s Student Athlete of the month. |
Henry has a remarkable athletic career at Pentucket. His accomplishments as part of the swimming co-op with Triton High School are incredible. He is a multi-year captain and has been named the Cape Ann League Male Swimmer of the Year for 2 consecutive years (2021 & 2022) and, no doubt, will be a favorite to win the award again this season. He holds school records in two individual events (100 yd. Butterfly 54.53 & 50 yd. Freestyle 22. 71) and in all three relays. Henry placed 10th in Freestyle, and 12th in Butterfly at the State meet last winter and should be among the Top 10 this winter. Henry was also named to the Boston Herald All- Scholastic team last winter.
Both Penny and Henry are very dedicated to serving their communities as well. Penny Spack and Henry Brien; two of our future courageous leaders.
Look for Winning Ways with MIAA where every student has an inspiring story.
