Regional Volleyball Semifinals are tonight across Michigan, leaving Monday free of high school competition in this state. So instead of headlines, we have highlights – from the State Champs Sports Network’s Lower Peninsula Cross Country and Boys Soccer Finals wrap-up shows.

Thanks, Mr. Woodley (Saginaw News)

LaMarr Woodley was a football star at Saginaw High long before he went on to the University of Michigan and now the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He's given students in his hometown the same opportunity for accomplishment without the cost they would've otherwise incurred this school year.

Students at Saginaw and Saginaw Arthur Hill plus the districts junior highs and middle schools were facing a $75 participation fee until Woodley stepped in earlier this month with a $60,000 donation.

Hugh Bernreuter has covered the majority of Woodley's career, and tells this story.
