Road Trip
December 2, 2011
We love maps, probably because we spend a lot of time with them during our travels across our great state.
To continue on with the transition theme from fall to winter, here’s a look at the road trip our Home Team Marketing representatives took this week.
If you attended a football, boys soccer or volleyball Regional, Semifinal or Final, mostly below the 45th parallel, you no doubt saw our banners or signs.
With those seasons over, and someone’s got to pick them up. So HTM took a U-Haul truck coast to coast to grab all of our gear to be re-deployed for the next round of tournaments.
What's My Why: Official Stan Wright
May 27, 2026
Stan Wright, Warren
Wright was recognized this spring for his 30 years as an MHSAA-registered official. He started with basketball, added baseball his second year, and continues to officiate those and also football and softball. He also officiated volleyball for three years.
One, I love the competition. Two, I love giving these kids an opportunity to compete, be a part of them competing.
And also being a part of encouraging them to be the best person they can be as they matriculate from sport to sport and then as they matriculate in life. So, it's all about helping those kids become the best that they can be.
And that's the passion and the joy I get out of it.
“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].
