March 19, 2019
This week's show highlights the buzzer-beating shot by Ypsilanti Lincoln in its Division 1 boys basketball championship game victory over Detroit U-D Jesuit, hands out Game Balls to New Haven's Romeo Weems and Detroit Edison's Rickea Jackson, discusses use of instant replay in high school basketball and closes with an example of keeping proper perspective in educational athletics.
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."
