From our Battle of the Fans finalists ...

March 29, 2012

This winter's inaugural "Battle of the Fans" was about recognizing the top student cheering section in the state of Michigan.

But it also provided valuable lessons about sportsmanship and made every gym a classroom where they could be taught and learned.

The video below includes clips from all five finalists' videos shot by MHSAA staff and used in the judging for the contest. It played on the Breslin Center scoreboard before each of the Semifinals and championship games of the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals over the last two weekends. 

If you were there, you no doubt caught at least a glimpse. If not, check it out below.
