This Week in High School Sports: 10/9/18

October 9, 2018

This week's show features the 8-player football team at Pickford. Game balls go out to the girls tennis teams at Negaunee and Ishpeming Westwood, which won MHSAA titles last week. "What Officials Don’t Do" is the topic of "Be The Referee," and the MHSAA "Perspective" takes a look into the history books at football teams which have pulled off the undefeated, untied and unscored upon trifecta.

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."
