This Week in High School Sports: 8/25/17
August 25, 2017
The first edition of "This Week In High School Sports" for 2017-18 features the findings of the MHSAA’s 2016-17 Concussion report, addresses a rules change to blind side blocking in football and concludes with an "MHSAA Perspective" about referee Steve Johnson, who returns to the games after a bout with cancer.
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."

#TBT: Stealing Without Guilt
May 14, 2015

Second Half editor
Former Jackson Citizen Patriot sports editor Tommy Cameron penned a commentary during the late 1980s titled "Stealing Without Guilt" on attendance at high school sporting events. It was his plea to parents missing out on the special moments experienced by their children that he had the opportunity to cover daily.
His column made an appearance in an MHSAA Finals program and then as the inspiration for this piece broadcast during MHSAA Finals, brought to you as this week's Throwback Thursday selection.
