This Week in High School Sports: 1/5/18

January 5, 2018

This week’s show features the upcoming Battle of The Fans, passes out Game Balls to Alpena’s Chris DeRocher and Benton Harbor’s Carlos Johnson in boys basketball, talks about basketball shot clocks in the "Be The Referee" segment and closes with a commentary on a video documentary just released about one of the greatest high school athletes of all-time in Michigan – Fennville’s Richie Jordan.

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."
