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. 

The opening show features the Ithaca High School football team, a "You Make the Call" question on Be The Referee, and a Perspective about the MHSAA’s ongoing health and safety work. Listen to this week’s show by Clicking Here.
