The Signal

How you catch certain games online

- By Perry Smith

In an effort to allow as much access as possible while keeping everyone safe, some William S. Hart Union High School District school sites are utilizing a livestream for sporting events this spring, starting with football.

Using camera equipment that was put on campuses in partnershi­p authorized the Hart district and the National Federation of High Schools, but managed by the individual school sites, a livestream will allow parents, boosters and fans a chance to watch their favorite high school teams, and cheer them on from the safety of their homes.

The streams are especially helpful with limitation­s that are being placed on how many attendees the Hart district can allow to watch live sporting events, due to restrictio­ns in place from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Every school site is making its own arrangemen­ts with respect to viewing capabiliti­es, according to Dody Garcia, athletic director for West Ranch High School, adding that West Ranch would be one of the schools participat­ing.

West Ranch High officials notified parents of the arrangemen­ts at a meeting last week, she said, adding there was also an abundance of safety informatio­n mentioned.

The website where one can check to see if their school has a game or match available for viewing is NFHSNetwor­k. com. The site has a search space to enter the name of the school, which will then allow you to search and see if there are any events happening live or upcoming.
