This Week in High School Sports: 1/19/18

January 18, 2018

This week’s show features Ewen-Trout Creek basketball center Jake Witt, passes out Game Balls to Xavier Staubs and Grant Warner of Corunna in boys swimming, talks about a new basketball rule in the "Be The Referee" segment and closes with an announcement about the nine semifinalists in this year’s Battle of The Fans.

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."
