This latest edition of "This Week In High School Sports" features Watervliet football quarterback Zach Pickens, who passed for five touchdowns and ran for four more last week against Buchanan; passes out Game Balls to Lincoln Alcona boys soccer goalie Connor McCoy and Alexis Carras from the girls golf team at Midland Dow and closes with a commentary on a recent National Federation resolution designating fall Friday night as “High School Football Night” in America.
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."
