This Week in High School Sports: 1/20/17

January 20, 2017

The latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" features Beaverton boys basketball coach Roy Johnston, who is on the brink of becoming Michigan’s winningest coach in that sport; discusses ice hockey overtime in its Be The Referee segment and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on preserving participation opportunities for girls.

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."
