This Week in High School Sports: 9/22/17

September 22, 2017

This week’s show features Maddy Chinn of Pontiac Notre Dame Prep’s girls volleyball team, passes out Game Balls to Zack Shane of Fruitport, and Logan Carroll of Escanaba, talks about preparation for officials in the "Be The Referee" segment and closes with a commentary on the business of youth sports.

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."

In this week's edition of MHSAA Perspective, John Johnson talks about the seeding of MHSAA Tournaments, how it's happened in some sports, and why it hasn't happened in basketball.
