Ten students from Bismarck State College's Advanced Video Class have transformed BSC's Athletic Hall of Fame into a control room as they prepare to broadcast live from tomorrow night's women's and men's basketball games as the Mystics take on the North Dakota State College of Science Wildcats at 6 and 8 p.m. in the BSC Armory.
This hands-on, real-life assignment has been weeks in the making, according to instructor Dusty Anderson.
"They've spent the past three weeks working on a variety of stories and player profiles that will air during halftimes and between games," he said.
In addition to the play-by-play coverage and pre-recorded stories, all four BSC head coaches will join the students during the broadcast.
While Wayne Wolf, a longtime sports announcer, is volunteering his time with the students, the rest of the production is student fueled. Sophomore Mercer Sage is the sideline reporter; freshman Taylor Kindseth and sophomore Austin Balk are directing. Freshman Jerrod Schumacher and sophomore Kelly Feigitsch are handling all audio duties; sophomores Jake Wentz, Molly Zachmeier, Michael Myers and freshman Evan Wolf are running cameras; and sophomore Allison Keigley will run the on-air graphics, all of which she designed.
The broadcast will go live at 5:55 p.m. on Dakota Media Access, cable Channel 12 in Bismarck, and at bismarckstate.edu/community/live/.
