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 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].
