We are blessed at JCC Striv to have quality equipment. It is due to a lot of hard work & commitment from a lot of people. Our school, students, administrators, and staff have all supported the program well both in terms of time and support. Our student crew offered advertisement & sponsorship opportunities for the first time this 2022-23 school year. Due to those efforts and support by our sponsors, we have made some major upgrades this year.

Our crew at this year's MUDECAS included two JCC high schoolers who helped introduce & train multiple JCC middle school students who worked a game for the first time ever! Along side Striv's Eric Allgood, who has always supported not only all Striv schools, but our large MUDECAS efforts, our streams went great this year.

We also had two special guests on our stream -- one student from Johnson-Brock and one former JCC Striv alum.

We didn't get a picture of everyone, but here are some of the frames from this year's production.

A big thank you to all of the students who helped broadcast the 8 games in 2 days. Thank you to Eric, Dalton, & Phil for joining us. Thanks to Luke with the Daily Sun who I've worked with for years at MUDECAS balancing photo & streaming work.

Thank you to all of the JCC Striv Sponsors. If you would like to help support our program, please visit the JCC website here.

Finally, a big thank you to the MUDECAS Association, the city of Beatrice, and Diode Communications. For the first time this year, we had a solid internet connection from the Auditorium, courtesy of Diode Communications.

Until next year!
