This Week in High School Sports: 11/24/17

November 24, 2017

This week’s show features last week's 8-Player Football Final win by Central Lake, passes out Game Balls to East Grand Rapids' girls swimming & diving team and Novi's girls volleyball team, talks about ejections in the "Be The Referee" segment and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on the process of selling 8-player football to proud 11-player communities.  

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."
