Last year, with stops and starts triggered from the pandemic, play wasn't guaranteed. This year, as things get going, there will be a focus on the mental health of student athletes. the Michigan High School Athletic Association is requiring all coaches to participate in mental health training.
While schools struggle with in-person or virtual learning, Michigan high school sports are scheduled to start right on schedule. Football practice starts August 10th and other sports start practicing August 12th. New procedures and policies are being crafted now, for students' safety.
Students and parents alike are pissed for how this announcer prefaced announcing the names of players before a game. Just in case anyone was wondering, this is not how you do it.
