The first edition of "This Week In High School Sports" for 2017-18 features the findings of the MHSAA’s 2016-17 Concussion report, addresses a rules change to blind side blocking in football and concludes with an "MHSAA Perspective" about referee Steve Johnson, who returns to the games after a bout with cancer.

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."
