It's another Finals weekend, with MHSAA championships to be decided in three sports over the next two days. And Second Half will have coverage of every game, match and meet.
Tune in late Friday for coverage and photos from the 8-player Football Final pitting Bellaire and Deckerville at Greenville High School.
On Saturday, we'll have coverage of all four Volleyball Finals at Battle Creek's Kellogg Arena, plus coverage from each of three Lower Peninsula Swimming and Diving Finals thanks to our crew of knowledgeable correspondents.
MHSAA 11-player football Semifinals are all Saturday, so keep an eye out later today for a brief preview of each of those games, plus the story of Saginaw Swan Valley sophomore running back Alex Grace. He's run for more than 2,000 yards in helping the Vikings get back to the Semis in Division 4.
Be the Referee: Wrong Green

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 – Wrong Green - Listen
The weather’s getting nicer so we’re breaking out the golf clubs and hitting the links. But our game is still a little rusty.
The first three holes go well enough. But on hole number 4, our tee shot is off target. Way off target. And it lands on the green for a different hole. Now what? Can we just hit our approach shot from the wrong green?
No – but you do get free relief if your ball is on the wrong green.
Identify the nearest point of relief that is not closer to the hole – and completely off of the wrong green, including your stance – and drop your ball within a club-length of that point. Now you are good to hit your next shot.
If you were to take a shot from the wrong green – and not take the free relief – that would be a two-stroke penalty.
