In this week's edition, we celebrate Cheboygan broadcaster Mike Grisdale's 40-year play-by-play career, present Game Balls to high achievers in soccer, tennis and volleyball; and highlight Michigan's continued high ranking nationally for participation in school sports.
The 5-minute program each week includes feature stories from MHSAA.com or network affiliates, along with "Be the Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating.
"This Week in High School Sports" is powered by MI Student Aid, a division within the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP).
