February 21, 2020
This week’s show features Carson City-Crystal wrestler Jamison Ward, presents Game Balls to Marquette swimming's Jayme Winn and Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart basketball's Delaney Scully, announces a new publication for basketball officials and explains why the MHSAA's limited seeding in basketball accomplished its desired result.
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."
