This Week in High School Sports: 12/23/16

December 23, 2016

The latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" features the MHSAA's "Battle of the Fans VI", passes out two Game Balls, further discusses video review in its Be The Referee segment, and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on the gifts we all enjoy including some we may not immediately recognize.

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."
