What's My Why: Official Mike Carrier
June 1, 2026
Mike Carrier, Commerce Township
Carrier has served as an MHSAA-registered wrestling official for the last six seasons, and eight years total.
As a former athlete and coach, I understand the importance of having high-quality officials to help work our contests.
As an educator, I believe sports to be an extension of the classroom, and they teach our student-athletes valuable life lessons.
It simply couldn’t happen without good officials.
“What’s My Why” is a weekly feature telling the stories of MHSAA-registered officials in their own words. If you’re an MHSAA official and would like to share your reason why, please submit a 15 to 45-second video, taken horizontally, to director of officials Sam Davis at [email protected].
