A Genesee County record-breaking volleyball performance and a Lansing-area soccer championship game were just two of many highlights from last week's slate of events brought to MHSAA.TV by the School Broadcast Program.
Montrose's Brooke Williams broke her school's career record of 996 kills and then recorded her 1,000th in the Rams 3-1 win over Flint Beecher, while East Lansing defeated Mason and then Holt for this season's Capital Area Activities Conference boys soccer title. See more on those below in this week's MHSAA.TV highlight reel, or watch any of these events in their entirety:

Wes Leonard, Remembered and Honored
February 12, 2012
Nearly a year after his unexpected and tragic death, Wes Leonard's memory lives on as his story continues to touch many on a national level.
Fennville High School added to his legacy Friday, inducting the former all-state basketball standout into its athletic Hall of Fame in a ceremony one Michigan sportswriter described as both somber and proud.
Check out his report and links to additional coverage of Friday's induction by clicking the links below, and also one for the Wes Leonard Heart Team and its efforts in preventing sudden cardiac arrest:
