This first edition for the 2023-24 school year promotes our coverage of all things school sports on MHSAA.com, presents Game Balls to high achievers in cross country, volleyball and soccer; discusses some of the differences between high school and college or professional football rules, and provides some of the storylines from our summer “Made in Michigan” series on past headliners and what they’re doing now.
The 5-minute program each week includes feature stories from MHSAA.com or network affiliates, along with "Be the Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating.
"This Week in High School Sports" is powered by MI Student Aid, a part of the Office of Postsecondary Financial Planning located within the Michigan Department of Treasury.
