The latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" features a report on Hudson’s title at the Team Wrestling Finals, discusses players deciding basketball games in its Be The Referee segment, and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on foul language in school sports. 

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."
