This Week in High School Sports: 8/30/19
August 30, 2019
The first edition of 2019-20 leads off with a feature on former St. Johns quarterback-now-coach Andy Schmitt, hands out Game Balls to Adrian soccer's Mitchell Hanosh and the Northville girls golf team, brings back "Be the Referee" with a segment on the football 40-second clock and concludes with a commentary on the benefits of a multi-sport experience and how more should take part in this opportunity.
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.
