Reaching the Sportsmanship Summit
January 7, 2013
Didn't make it to one of the MHSAA's Sportsmanship Summits this fall? Check out this video review of what you missed, including a preview of this winter's Battle of the Fans II competition.
The MHSAA conducted student summits in Lansing, Warren, Gaylord and Kalamazoo. With assistance from its Student Advisory Council, MHSAA staff and administrators from all over the state explained how students can set the tone of good sportsmanship – and then presented effective ways of doing so, including taking part in the Battle of the Fans.
The deadline for student-submitted #BOTF applications is Saturday. Click for more information on the contest.
Battle of the Fans: Vote Now
February 20, 2012
The time has come to decide the winner of the inaugural MHSAA Battle of the Fans contest.
And we've put the decision, in part, in your hands.
Vote today through Thursday on your favorite of five finalists -- Petoskey, Rockford, Reese, Grand Rapids Christian and Frankenmuth -- by clicking the poll link on the right side of this screen.
But before you do, be sure to brush up on each by clicking on the stories behind all five sections and watching our MHSAA-produced videos of those student cheerers in action, shot over the last five weeks during the MHSAA tour of finalists' schools.
The contest is sponsored by the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, and the winner will be decided by a combination of SAC and public vote. You must be a member of Facebook and "like" the MHSAA page to take part.
The champion will be announced Friday on Second Half. Video of all five finalists will be compiled and shown on the main scoreboard during the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals in March at Michigan State's Breslin Student Events Center.
