This Week in High School Sports: 1/29/19
January 29, 2019
This week's show features Flint Kearsley bowler Imari Blond, hands out Game Balls to Detroit Catholic Central hockey's Zach Allan and Unionville-Sebewaing basketball's Tyler Heckroth, discusses basketball over-and-back violations and closes with a look back 50 years later at Lansing Sexton's 1959 boys hoops championship run.
The 5-minute program, powered by MI Student Aid, leads off each week with feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half or network affiliates. "Be The Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating, comes in the middle of the show and is followed by a closing MHSAA "Perspective."
