This Week in High School Sports: 10/2/18

October 2, 2018

This week's show features the life of late Grand Rapids official Dolly Konwinski, who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Game balls go out to Schoolcraft football running back Kobe Clark and Rockford cross country runner Ericka VanderLende. A football overtime rule is the topic of "Be The Referee," and the MHSAA "Perspective" commentary is a "You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me" piece on a federal court case made by the parents of a kid who didn’t make the cut.

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."

Following a decade-long run of "MHSAA Perspective" on radio stations all over Michigan, the MHSAA is debuting this week "This Week in High School Sports," a collection of features discussing current issues and highlighting accomplishments that will be produced through the winter season. 

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, makes its statewide radio debut in the middle of the show and is followed by a closing Perspective.
