This week’s edition discusses this fall’s boys soccer season and its District seeding process, awards Game Balls to high achievers from last week, explains the differences between high school and college football pass interference, and concludes with highlights from a Second Half feature on Beaver Island athletics.

The 5-minute program each week includes feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half or network affiliates, along with "Be The Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating.

September 15, 2017

This week’s show features an act of great sportsmanship by St. Johns' Taryn Chapko toward Jillian Lange of Goodrich in a recent nighttime girls cross country meet, passes out Game Balls to Brighton’s Celia Cullen, and Trevor Johns and Bryson Jensen from Manistee; discusses why it’s a good idea for retired referees to stay registered in the "Be The Referee" segment and closes with a commentary on sportsmanship.

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."
