On Saturday, December 10, Christ the King became the first New York City school to broadcast their games over the internet and on mobile devices - thanks to the Global Youth Network.
The nationally-ranked boys' basketball team's contest with Boys & Girls High School, along with the girls' game against Archbishop Carroll, drew more than 11,000 viewers from 14 states and six countries!
Christ the King boys' basketball coach and co-athletic director Joe Arbitello believes that iHigh is revolutionizing youth sports.
"It's amazing," Arbitello said. "I think everybody is gonna want to jump on board."
iHigh and iHoops, the official joint youth basketball initiative of the NCAA and the NBA, have partnered to bring fans the "iHoops Game of the Week powered by iHigh.com."
Each week, iHigh will partner with iHoops to provide a featured matchup for high-profile girls' and boys' basketball teams from around the country, and will be highlighted on iHigh and www.ihoops.com.
Saturday's iHoops Game of the Week will feature the EHSN Sports broadcast of the Seven Lakes - Strake Jesuit contest at 6:00 pm CST.
iHigh.com would like to take a moment and thank Robert Burgess for his enormous contribution to Petal High School and the iHigh network he built for them. Robert was a tireless worker, volunteer, and Panther do-it-all.
Robert started the iHigh website for Petal, ran the broadcasts, took the photos, and wrote the articles. He did it all - always with a smile - and with the intention of showcasing Panther Student/Athletes. His work for Coach Watkins and the Petal Athletics program is second to none, and he built a Petal iHigh network, No. 1 in Mississippi this year with over 920,000 site views!
Robert Burgess was the epitome of what iHigh is all about - helping high schools gain visibility and promote their students. Thanks, Robert for all your help - you are already missed!
