The newest installment of This Week In High School Sports looks at the boys soccer and girls volleyball programs at Leland High School, hands out game balls to Tanner Christian of Caledonia High School and the boys and girls cross country teams at Lansing Catholic and finishes with a commentary on coach-official communication in basketball. 

This Week In High School Sports will lead each show with feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half or from network affiliated stories and interviews. "Be The Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating, highlights the middle of the show and is followed by a closing "Perspective."
