In this week's edition, we review this past weekend's 11-player football championship games and present Game Balls to high achievers in basketball and hockey as we close the fall season and turn our focus to winter sports.
The 5-minute program each week includes feature stories from MHSAA.com or network affiliates, along with "Be the Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating.
"This Week in High School Sports" is powered by MI Student Aid, a division within the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP).
