Did you see that? (Winter begins)
November 27, 2012
Fall has ended and winter has begun. And every Monday we'll post here some of the most headline-worthy results and major news coming from all over our state.
Hockey, Upper Peninsula bowling, gymnastics, Upper Peninsula swimming and diving and competitive cheer all are underway, although the majority of competitions in the latter four take place after the start of the new year. Girls basketball, Lower Peninsula swimming and diving and bowling all begin this week.
And next week sees the starts of the rest: boys basketball, boys and girls skiing and wrestling.
We're busy populating MHSAA.com with schedules for all sports and especially basketball, and will display every score that comes in for any sport. Anyone can enter scores by simply registering on the site. Feel free to give us a hand, and keeping tuning in to Second Half for more features, rankings and the like all winter long.
What's My Why: Official Candace Cox
July 9, 2026
Candace Cox, Quincy
Cox received the MHSAA's Vern L. Norris Leadership in Officiating Award in 2024 for her contributions as a longtime top competitive cheer judge but also to recognize her statewide leadership as executive director of the Michigan Cheer Judges Association. She has been registered as an MHSAA competitive cheer judge since the sport's first season in 1993-94.
The reason I officiate girls competitive cheer is because I love the sport and I want to give back to the young athletes.
