October 2, 2018
This week's show features the life of late Grand Rapids official Dolly Konwinski, who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Game balls go out to Schoolcraft football running back Kobe Clark and Rockford cross country runner Ericka VanderLende. A football overtime rule is the topic of "Be The Referee," and the MHSAA "Perspective" commentary is a "You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me" piece on a federal court case made by the parents of a kid who didn’t make the cut.
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."
