The latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" leads with a report on Hillman’s boys basketball team, discusses pitch counts in baseball in its Be The Referee segment and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on the River Rouge basketball dynasty from the 1950s to the 1970s.
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.
