This Week in High School Sports: 9/29/17

October 2, 2017

This week’s show features Conner McCoy of Lincoln Alcona’s boys soccer team,  passes out Game Balls to Ileah Doctor of East Grand Rapids and Bloomfield Hills’ Mikaela Schulz, talks about misunderstood football kicking rules in the "Be The Referee" segment and closes with a commentary on two more great examples of sportsmanship by Pellston’s Alice Principi in cross country and the boys soccer coaching staff at East Grand Rapids.

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."

#TBT: Stealing Without Guilt

May 14, 2015

By Geoff Kimmerly
Second Half editor

Former Jackson Citizen Patriot sports editor Tommy Cameron penned a commentary during the late 1980s titled "Stealing Without Guilt" on attendance at high school sporting events. It was his plea to parents missing out on the special moments experienced by their children that he had the opportunity to cover daily. 

His column made an appearance in an MHSAA Finals program and then as the inspiration for this piece broadcast during MHSAA Finals, brought to you as this week's Throwback Thursday selection.
