#TBT: Stealing Without Guilt

May 14, 2015

By Geoff Kimmerly
Second Half editor

Former Jackson Citizen Patriot sports editor Tommy Cameron penned a commentary during the late 1980s titled "Stealing Without Guilt" on attendance at high school sporting events. It was his plea to parents missing out on the special moments experienced by their children that he had the opportunity to cover daily. 

His column made an appearance in an MHSAA Finals program and then as the inspiration for this piece broadcast during MHSAA Finals, brought to you as this week's Throwback Thursday selection. 

This Week In High School Sports: 11/15/19

November 12, 2019

This week’s show features Reading lineman Nick Affholter as the Rangers prepare for this weekend's game against Adrian Lenawee Christian, awards Game Balls to Allen Park running back Nico Tiberia and the Jackson Northwest volleyball team, discusses sideline safety for coaches and officials and explains the impact a coach can have as the leader and best example of good sportsmanship for an athletic program.

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."
