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: Petoskey, Here We Come

February 16, 2012

Only one stop remains on the MHSAA "Battle of the Fans" tour.

Friday is Snowcoming at Petoskey High, and the Blue Crew has the fifth and final shot at proving it's the top student cheering section in Michigan this winter.

Petoskey hosts a varsity doubleheader against West Branch Ogemaw Heights. Check in over the weekend for the story behind the section and video of the Blue Crew in action.

The Battle of the Fans Tour began in Frankenmuth, then moved to Grand Rapids Christian and Reese before hitting Rockford two weeks ago. Stories and videos on those four student sections can be found by clicking the links at the bottom of this page under "Related Articles."

Voting runs Monday-Thursday on our Facebook page, with the big announcement coming Friday. And all five finalists will be part of a video that runs on the Breslin Center scoreboard throughout the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals next month.

The contest was organized by the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council.
