This Week in High School Sports: 1/1/19

January 2, 2019

This week's show features Unionville-Sebewaing three-sport standout Rylee Zimmer, explains a misconception about sliding in basketball and closes with a reflection on "reading the instructions" to know how educational athletics at their best should operate.

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."
