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.

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.
Coaches Guide to Nutrition: No Tricks, Just Smart Fuel
October 20, 2026
Halloween may bring plenty of treats, but fueling your body doesn’t have to be tricky!
For high school athletes, healthy snacks are an important way to maintain energy between meals and support performance before and after activity.
A simple formula to remember is carbohydrate + protein.
Try combinations like Greek yogurt and fruit, cheese and crackers, a fruit smoothie, or chocolate milk and almonds.
And yes, there’s still room for your favorite Halloween candy!
Rather than labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” focus on choosing nutrient-rich foods more often while enjoying foods with less nutrition occasionally.
For athletes, it’s all about finding balance while giving your body the fuel it needs for school, practice, and competition.
