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.
