A group of Milford high school students recently broadcast the Law vs. Foran Coaches vs. Cancer boys and girls basketball games. 

Law junior Ella Franzman, Law junior Harry Fisher, and Foran sophomore Joey Kurzner broadcast the games, which were live streamed on the MGAT Education YouTube channel. A group of Law students, including senior Helen Chizmazia and sophomore Harshitha Kothapalli, were camera operators for the broadcasts as well.

“It was a great experience broadcasting the crosstown rivalry,” Kurzner said “I hope I can do more Foran and Law games”

The students got involved when MGAT reached out to teachers at Law and Foran and asked if they had students who were interested in commentating the game. Kurzner and Fisher did the girls basketball game and Kurzner and Franzman did the boys game.

“I thought my broadcasting was good,” Fisher said “This was my first step to my broadcasting career.” 

This was Fisher’s first time broadcasting a live event. Kurzner and Franzman had previous broadcasting experience at the Law vs. Foran Thanksgiving Day game. 

“This is something I’m looking to pursue in college and post-college,” Franzman said “ After we did the football game we had talked about live-streaming the Law vs. Foran basketball games. It didn’t work out for the first game before holiday break but we were able to do it for the Coaches vs. Cancer game.” 

Kurzner was the play-by-play announcer for both games. Fisher was the color commentator for the girls game, and Franzman was the color commentator for the boys game. 

“It was such a great opportunity and real-life experience,” Franzman said “I’m excited to do these games next year.”
