Perspective: Brotherhood

February 11, 2015

In this week's edition of MHSAA Perspective, John Johnson talks about two situations where schools played in memory of deceased team members, the involvement of the younger brothers, and the brotherhood shared.

Now in its 10th season, the radio commentary MHSAA Perspective – presented by the Amber Alert Foundation – airs on over 80 radio stations and audio outlets across the state, generally during the local broadcasts of high school games. The program runs for 30 weeks through the end of the winter sports season.
