November 7, 2019

This week’s show kicks off with highlights from the Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals, awards Game Balls to the Charlevoix football and Marquette volleyball teams, announces an officials "playlist" on YouTube and closes with highlights from the Boys Soccer Finals, which saw three of the four championship games go into overtime and two decided in shootouts.

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."
