Perspective: Life is Bigger than Football
December 5, 2014
In this week's edition of MHSAA Perspective, John Johnson tells a couple of stories from last weekend's 11-player Football Finals that illustrate the positive effects sports can have in a young person's life.
Now in its 10th season, the radio commentary MHSAA Perspective – presented by the Michigan Army National Guard – airs on over 80 radio stations and audio outlets across the state, generally during the local broadcasts of high school games. The program runs for 30 weeks through the end of the winter sports season.
