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."

#TBT: Stealing Without Guilt
May 14, 2015
By Geoff Kimmerly
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.
