This Week In High School Sports: 12/6/19

December 6, 2019

This week’s show recaps the 45th MHSAA 11-Player Football Finals at Ford Field by featuring Muskegon Mona Shores' win in Division 2, handing out Game Balls to River Rouge's Mareyohn Hrabowski and Reading twins Ben and Nick Affholter, discussing the first-time use of instant replay and closing with the story of Davison's first championship. 

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."
