This Week in High School Sports: 911/18

September 11, 2018

This week's show features the Alpena boys soccer team and coach Tim Storch, passes out game balls to Holland West Ottawa football quarterback Isaac VanDyke and the girls volleyball team at Painesdale-Jeffers, addresses a soccer rule change in "Be The Referee" and finishes with an "MHSAA Perspective" about placing too much importance on one percent of participants.

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."
