Former King standout Greenwood home again
May 25, 2012
Chris Greenwood has won at Ford Field before -- as part of the Detroit Martin Luther King team that claimed the 2007 Detroit Public School League championship at the NFL Lions' home field.
It's his favorite high school football memory.
And this fall, Greenwood hopes to make that building a permanent home.
Our Brian Spencer -- one of Greenwood's Albion College teammates the last three seasons -- chatted with the Lions hopeful this week about from his took away from high school football, and what he's experiencing now as he works to jump to the game's highest level after a lesser-traveled path through Division III football.

Be the Referee: Instant Replay

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Instant Replay - Listen
The use of instant replay in football varies at each level. But at the high school level in Michigan, replay is not used for any regular-season or postseason games, except for the Football Finals at Ford Field.
Unlike the professional and college leagues, however, the only plays that are reviewed are potential scoring plays and potential turnovers. On those plays, the officials in the replay booth will look at the various angles provided by the television broadcast and either confirm or overturn the play.
For each game at Ford Field, there are three replay officials in the booth – all with experience at higher levels. Over the years, replay has rarely been used, but it’s always in an effort of getting the correct call made.
