This Week In High School Sports: 3/6/20

March 6, 2020

This week’s show features Clinton wrestling's championship run, presents Game Balls to Grandville Calvin Christian basketball's Brock Stevens and Springport basketball's Alana Nelson, explains the often-misunderstood basketball 3-second rule and recalls boys hoops scoring greats from the Upper Peninsula.

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."
