The MHSAA fall sports season will close this weekend with our most popular Finals as 16 teams play for eight 11-player football championships Friday and Saturday at Ford Field.
Here's a little something we cooked up to help you recall last season's games and prepare for another trip to Michigan high school football's biggest stage. Second Half previews on all eight Finals will be posted later today.
Kalamazoo's Winter a Pro in the Fall
July 19, 2012
Kalamazoo's Ron Winter has been part of just about every major event possible on a football field with more than four decades officiating high school, college and now National Football League games.

Winter -- and MHSAA registered official the last 42 years -- was appointed earlier this month to serve a two-year term on the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports.
