EAST LANSING, Mich. – Aug. 31 – More than 70 radio stations and web audio outlets have joined a growing list of Michigan High School Athletic Association Network affiliates for the 2021-22 school year, with more expected to come on board as fall sports schedules continue to build toward a busy September and October.
Affiliates carry games and also the MHSAA Network radio show – “This Week in High School Sports” – which began its seventh season last week.
“This Week in High School Sports” is posted to the MHSAA Website by noon every Tuesday during the Fall and Winter seasons. This week’s edition discusses this fall’s boys soccer season and its District seeding process, awards Game Balls to high achievers from last week, explains the differences between high school and college football pass interference, and concludes with highlights from an MHSAA Second Half feature on Beaver Island athletics.
