This Week in High School Sports: 10/7/16
October 7, 2016
The latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" features the Grand Ledge boys soccer team, discusses a rules change in soccer in its Be The Referee segment and finishes with an MHSAA Perspective on Vermontville’s Ken Beardslee, who set national high school pitching records during the late 1940s and was inducted into the National High School Sports Hall of Fame this past summer.
The 5-minute program, powered by MI Student Aid, leads off each week with feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half or network affiliates. "Be The Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating, comes in the middle of the show; and is followed by a closing MHSAA "Perspective."
