This week's show features Lowell's MHSAA record-breaking wrestling championship, hands out Game Balls to participants in last week's Kensington Lakes Activities Association Unified basketball tournament, and discusses the basis of MHSAA rules regulating television broadcasts.

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."
