MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Toronto Blue Jays 1 Cubs and White Sox were off Tigers 3, Blue Jays 1 – Báez benched as Tigers beat Jays 3-1, end 6-game skid Javier Báez was benched after a baserunning gaffe and Spencer Turnbull pitched five solid innings as the Detroit Tigers avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1. Zach McKinstry drove in the go-ahead run and Jake Rogers had two hits and an RBI as Detroit snapped a six-game skid. Turnbull allowed one run on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch removed Báez from the game in the third, one inning after Báez appeared to lose track of the outs and ran into a double play. Chris Bassitt took the loss for the Blue Jays, allowing two runs in six innings.

Facing Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt, Báez doubled off the left-field wall with one out in the second inning. It was Báez’s first extra-base hit of the season, but he didn’t run hard out of the box, apparently thinking he had homered. Báez broke for third and rounded the base on Akil Baddo’s liner to center, and was easily doubled off to end the inning. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Tampa Bay Lightning 5, Detroit Red Wings 0 Philadelphia Flyers 5, Chicago Blackhawks 4 – OT End Regular Season for Detroit and Chicago Lightning 5, Red Wings 0 – Point gets 50th, 51st goals, Lightning beat Red Wings 5-0 Brayden Point scored his 50th and 51st goals, backup Brian Elliott made 32 saves,and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was the regular-season finale for both teams. Point joined Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier as the only Lightnning players to reach the 50-goal mark. Alex Killorn, Brandon Hagel and Michael Eyssimont also scored for the playoff-bound Lightning. The Red Wings, despite ending the season 0-4-1, finished with their most points since their last playoff team in 2015-16. Flyers 4, Blackhawks 3 – OT – Toews, Blackhawks lose 5-4 to Flyers in finale Jonathan Toews scored in his final game with the Chicago Blackhawks, but Ivan Provorov scored 3:09 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory in the season finale for each team. Toews won three Stanley Cup titles in 15 seasons with Chicago, but general manager Kyle Davidson announced earlier in the day that the team would not re-sign its longtime captain. Toews turns 35 on April 29, and the lowly Blackhawks are rebuilding. Toews had a chance to win the game in overtime, but he was denied by Felix Sandstrom on a breakaway with about 2:15 remaining. Provorov then closed it out for Philadelphia, beating Alex Stalock for his 6th goal of the season. NHL – Blackhawks say Toews will not return to team next season Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will not return to the team next year, ending a wildly successful run that included three Stanley Cup championships in 15 seasons. General manager Kyle Davidson says the team will not re-sign its longtime center, who turns 35 on April 29. Toews was selected by Chicago with the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft. He was just 20 years old when he became the 34th captain in team history in July 2008. Toews could decide to retire after missing a chunk of this season with what he described as symptoms of long COVID-19 and chronic immune response syndrome. NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight NBA Play In Tournament Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat, 7:00 p.m. Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves 9:30 p.m. NBA – The losing is done, NBA teams now await 7-foot-3 Wembanyama There are very specific rules that NBA teams must follow right now when it comes to mentioning the name of 7-foot-3 French star Victor Wembanyama. He’s got big-man height and elite guard skills and will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. But because he isn’t officially in the draft yet, teams can’t discuss him publicly. So they don’t. And they don’t have to, either. Everyone knows what the teams who’ll be in the NBA lottery next month are hoping to have happen. They want the No. 1 pick and the right to select Wembanyama. The Detroit Pistons have the best odds to win the number one pick. NFL – AP sources: Snyder agrees to $6.05B sale of NFL’s Commanders Two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that a group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales and including Magic Johnson has an agreement in principle to buy the Washington Commanders from longtime owner Dan Snyder. Harris and Rales are set to pay $6.05 billion for the storied NFL franchise. It’s the most money a professional sports franchise in North American has been sold for, topping the $4.65 billion paid by Walmart heir Rob Walton’s group for the Denver Broncos last year. The sale of the Commanders is pending approval from the rest of the league’s owners. That could happen as soon as their next meeting in Minnesota in May. NFL – First QB helmet designed to help reduce concussions approved The first quarterback-specific helmet designed to help reduce concussions has been approved for use by the NFL and NFLPA, the AP has learned. The helmet, manufactured by Vicis, reduces severity of helmet-to-ground impacts, which league data says account for approximately half of quarterback concussions, including the one suffered by Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa last season when his head slammed violently against the turf during a Thursday night game against Cincinnati. The helmet performed 7% better than the most popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season, the league said in a memo sent to team executives on Thursday. Golf – PGA – Hovland leads RBC Heritage; Masters champ Rahm struggles Viktor Hovland shot a 7-under 64 to take the first-round lead at the rain-delayed RBC Heritage. Masters champion Jon Rahm was eight shots back after a frustrating 1-over 72 and acknowledged the fatigue from his win at Augusta National affected him. Hovland also shared the first-round lead at the Masters and finished tied for seventh. He led Brian Harman by one shot at Harbour Town. Aaron Rai and Jimmy Walker were also 6 under but did not finish their rounds before darkness halted play. The RBC Heritage is a designated event on the PGA Tour this year, giving it a $20 million purse and a strong field. Boston Marathon – Survival diaries: Decade on, Boston Marathon bombing echoes In the decade since the Boston Marathon bombing, the streets and sidewalks have been repaired, and memorials stand at the site of the explosions to remember the three who died. But the healing continues. And, for many, the race itself is an important part. Bombing survivors with no previous interest in distance running made it a bucket-list goal. For others, friends and family entered on their behalf. Doctors and first responders and others affected by the attacks on April 15, 2013, have also been drawn back to the race on the Massachusetts holiday of Patriots’ Day. The 127th Boston Marathon is Monday.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 3, Toronto Blue Jays 1 Cubs and White Sox were off Tigers 3, Blue Jays 1 – Báez benched as Tigers beat Jays 3-1, end 6-game skid Javier Báez was benched after a baserunning gaffe and Spencer Turnbull pitched five solid innings as the Detroit Tigers avoided a three-game sweep by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1. Zach McKinstry drove in the go-ahead run and Jake Rogers had two hits and an RBI as Detroit snapped a six-game skid. Turnbull allowed one run on six hits and one walk with six strikeouts. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch removed Báez from the game in the third, one inning after Báez appeared to lose track of the outs and ran into a double play. Chris Bassitt took the loss for the Blue Jays, allowing two runs in six innings.

Facing Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt, Báez doubled off the left-field wall with one out in the second inning. It was Báez’s first extra-base hit of the season, but he didn’t run hard out of the box, apparently thinking he had homered. Báez broke for third and rounded the base on Akil Baddo’s liner to center, and was easily doubled off to end the inning. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Tampa Bay Lightning 5, Detroit Red Wings 0 Philadelphia Flyers 5, Chicago Blackhawks 4 – OT End Regular Season for Detroit and Chicago Lightning 5, Red Wings 0 – Point gets 50th, 51st goals, Lightning beat Red Wings 5-0 Brayden Point scored his 50th and 51st goals, backup Brian Elliott made 32 saves,and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was the regular-season finale for both teams. Point joined Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier as the only Lightnning players to reach the 50-goal mark. Alex Killorn, Brandon Hagel and Michael Eyssimont also scored for the playoff-bound Lightning. The Red Wings, despite ending the season 0-4-1, finished with their most points since their last playoff team in 2015-16. Flyers 4, Blackhawks 3 – OT – Toews, Blackhawks lose 5-4 to Flyers in finale Jonathan Toews scored in his final game with the Chicago Blackhawks, but Ivan Provorov scored 3:09 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory in the season finale for each team. Toews won three Stanley Cup titles in 15 seasons with Chicago, but general manager Kyle Davidson announced earlier in the day that the team would not re-sign its longtime captain. Toews turns 35 on April 29, and the lowly Blackhawks are rebuilding. Toews had a chance to win the game in overtime, but he was denied by Felix Sandstrom on a breakaway with about 2:15 remaining. Provorov then closed it out for Philadelphia, beating Alex Stalock for his 6th goal of the season. NHL – Blackhawks say Toews will not return to team next season Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will not return to the team next year, ending a wildly successful run that included three Stanley Cup championships in 15 seasons. General manager Kyle Davidson says the team will not re-sign its longtime center, who turns 35 on April 29. Toews was selected by Chicago with the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft. He was just 20 years old when he became the 34th captain in team history in July 2008. Toews could decide to retire after missing a chunk of this season with what he described as symptoms of long COVID-19 and chronic immune response syndrome. NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight NBA Play In Tournament Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat, 7:00 p.m. Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves 9:30 p.m. NBA – The losing is done, NBA teams now await 7-foot-3 Wembanyama There are very specific rules that NBA teams must follow right now when it comes to mentioning the name of 7-foot-3 French star Victor Wembanyama. He’s got big-man height and elite guard skills and will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. But because he isn’t officially in the draft yet, teams can’t discuss him publicly. So they don’t. And they don’t have to, either. Everyone knows what the teams who’ll be in the NBA lottery next month are hoping to have happen. They want the No. 1 pick and the right to select Wembanyama. The Detroit Pistons have the best odds to win the number one pick. NFL – AP sources: Snyder agrees to $6.05B sale of NFL’s Commanders Two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that a group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales and including Magic Johnson has an agreement in principle to buy the Washington Commanders from longtime owner Dan Snyder. Harris and Rales are set to pay $6.05 billion for the storied NFL franchise. It’s the most money a professional sports franchise in North American has been sold for, topping the $4.65 billion paid by Walmart heir Rob Walton’s group for the Denver Broncos last year. The sale of the Commanders is pending approval from the rest of the league’s owners. That could happen as soon as their next meeting in Minnesota in May. NFL – First QB helmet designed to help reduce concussions approved The first quarterback-specific helmet designed to help reduce concussions has been approved for use by the NFL and NFLPA, the AP has learned. The helmet, manufactured by Vicis, reduces severity of helmet-to-ground impacts, which league data says account for approximately half of quarterback concussions, including the one suffered by Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa last season when his head slammed violently against the turf during a Thursday night game against Cincinnati. The helmet performed 7% better than the most popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season, the league said in a memo sent to team executives on Thursday. Golf – PGA – Hovland leads RBC Heritage; Masters champ Rahm struggles Viktor Hovland shot a 7-under 64 to take the first-round lead at the rain-delayed RBC Heritage. Masters champion Jon Rahm was eight shots back after a frustrating 1-over 72 and acknowledged the fatigue from his win at Augusta National affected him. Hovland also shared the first-round lead at the Masters and finished tied for seventh. He led Brian Harman by one shot at Harbour Town.

Báez broke for third and rounded the base on Akil Baddo’s liner to center, and was easily doubled off to end the inning. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Tampa Bay Lightning 5, Detroit Red Wings 0 Philadelphia Flyers 5, Chicago Blackhawks 4 – OT End Regular Season for Detroit and Chicago Lightning 5, Red Wings 0 – Point gets 50th, 51st goals, Lightning beat Red Wings 5-0 Brayden Point scored his 50th and 51st goals, backup Brian Elliott made 32 saves,and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was the regular-season finale for both teams. Point joined Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier as the only Lightnning players to reach the 50-goal mark. Alex Killorn, Brandon Hagel and Michael Eyssimont also scored for the playoff-bound Lightning. The Red Wings, despite ending the season 0-4-1, finished with their most points since their last playoff team in 2015-16. Flyers 4, Blackhawks 3 – OT – Toews, Blackhawks lose 5-4 to Flyers in finale Jonathan Toews scored in his final game with the Chicago Blackhawks, but Ivan Provorov scored 3:09 into overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-4 victory in the season finale for each team. Toews won three Stanley Cup titles in 15 seasons with Chicago, but general manager Kyle Davidson announced earlier in the day that the team would not re-sign its longtime captain. Toews turns 35 on April 29, and the lowly Blackhawks are rebuilding. Toews had a chance to win the game in overtime, but he was denied by Felix Sandstrom on a breakaway with about 2:15 remaining. Provorov then closed it out for Philadelphia, beating Alex Stalock for his 6th goal of the season. NHL – Blackhawks say Toews will not return to team next season Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews will not return to the team next year, ending a wildly successful run that included three Stanley Cup championships in 15 seasons. General manager Kyle Davidson says the team will not re-sign its longtime center, who turns 35 on April 29. Toews was selected by Chicago with the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft. He was just 20 years old when he became the 34th captain in team history in July 2008. Toews could decide to retire after missing a chunk of this season with what he described as symptoms of long COVID-19 and chronic immune response syndrome. NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight NBA Play In Tournament Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat, 7:00 p.m. Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves 9:30 p.m. NBA – The losing is done, NBA teams now await 7-foot-3 Wembanyama There are very specific rules that NBA teams must follow right now when it comes to mentioning the name of 7-foot-3 French star Victor Wembanyama. He’s got big-man height and elite guard skills and will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. But because he isn’t officially in the draft yet, teams can’t discuss him publicly. So they don’t. And they don’t have to, either. Everyone knows what the teams who’ll be in the NBA lottery next month are hoping to have happen. They want the No. 1 pick and the right to select Wembanyama. The Detroit Pistons have the best odds to win the number one pick. NFL – AP sources: Snyder agrees to $6.05B sale of NFL’s Commanders Two people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that a group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales and including Magic Johnson has an agreement in principle to buy the Washington Commanders from longtime owner Dan Snyder. Harris and Rales are set to pay $6.05 billion for the storied NFL franchise. It’s the most money a professional sports franchise in North American has been sold for, topping the $4.65 billion paid by Walmart heir Rob Walton’s group for the Denver Broncos last year. The sale of the Commanders is pending approval from the rest of the league’s owners. That could happen as soon as their next meeting in Minnesota in May. NFL – First QB helmet designed to help reduce concussions approved The first quarterback-specific helmet designed to help reduce concussions has been approved for use by the NFL and NFLPA, the AP has learned. The helmet, manufactured by Vicis, reduces severity of helmet-to-ground impacts, which league data says account for approximately half of quarterback concussions, including the one suffered by Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa last season when his head slammed violently against the turf during a Thursday night game against Cincinnati. The helmet performed 7% better than the most popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season, the league said in a memo sent to team executives on Thursday. Golf – PGA – Hovland leads RBC Heritage; Masters champ Rahm struggles Viktor Hovland shot a 7-under 64 to take the first-round lead at the rain-delayed RBC Heritage. Masters champion Jon Rahm was eight shots back after a frustrating 1-over 72 and acknowledged the fatigue from his win at Augusta National affected him. Hovland also shared the first-round lead at the Masters and finished tied for seventh. He led Brian Harman by one shot at Harbour Town. Aaron Rai and Jimmy Walker were also 6 under but did not finish their rounds before darkness halted play. The RBC Heritage is a designated event on the PGA Tour this year, giving it a $20 million purse and a strong field. Boston Marathon – Survival diaries: Decade on, Boston Marathon bombing echoes In the decade since the Boston Marathon bombing, the streets and sidewalks have been repaired, and memorials stand at the site of the explosions to remember the three who died. But the healing continues. And, for many, the race itself is an important part. Bombing survivors with no previous interest in distance running made it a bucket-list goal. For others, friends and family entered on their behalf. Doctors and first responders and others affected by the attacks on April 15, 2013, have also been drawn back to the race on the Massachusetts holiday of Patriots’ Day. The 127th Boston Marathon is Monday.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Detroit Red Wings 7, Pittsburgh Penguins 4 Dallas Stars 4, Chicago Blackhawks 1 Red Wings 7, Penguins 4 – Perron’s 3rd-period hat trick lifts Red Wings past Penguins David Perron had a hat trick in the third period and the Detroit Red Wings overcame the ejection of coach Derek Lalonde to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-4. Perron posted his ninth career three-goal game. He scored on a wrist shot early in the third, put Detroit ahead 5-4 on the power play with 3:40 left and added his 19th goal of the season 45 seconds later. Lalonde was assessed a game misconduct during the second period. He profanely argued after unsuccessfully challenging Pittsburgh’s third goal on a claim of goalie interference. Detroit squandered an early three-goal lead and won for just the fourth time in 16 games. Stars 4, Blackhawks 1 – Stars get goals from 4 players, beat skidding Blackhawks 4-1 Tyler Seguin, Colin Miller, Joe Pavelski and Luke Glendening scored as the Dallas Stars topped the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1. Dallas improved to 94 points and climbed into a second-place tie with idle Colorado in the tight Central Division. First-place Minnesota has 95 points. Jake Oettinger lost a bid for his fifth shutout when Tyler Johnson popped in a loose rebound at 10:33 of the third period. Oettinger made 17 saves. He was only lightly tested as Dallas dominated for most of the game and outshot the last-place Blackhawks 33-18 in handing them their sixth straight loss. NHL – Blackhawks’ Toews returns to ice, hints at retirement Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews returned to the ice while also hinting his NHL career could be winding down. Toews skated with his teammates before their game against the Dallas Stars. It was his first time practicing with the Blackhawks since his most recent game in Edmonton in late January. He made a statement through the team in February saying he’d be stepping away because of the effects of Chronic Immune Response Syndrome and “long COVID.” In his first public comments since, Toews stopped short of saying he hoped to play in any of last-place Chicago’s nine remaining games. NHL – Predators motivated to bring joy to Nashville after shooting Predators defenseman Ryan McDonagh and his teammates were motivated to do more than just beat the Boston Bruins in their NHL game Tuesday night. The Predators wanted to bring a brief bit of joy to the city of Nashville a day after a fatal grade school shooting that left six dead, including three children. McDonagh said it wasn’t just another game as the Predators beat the NHL-leading Bruins 2-1. “Quite frankly there are really no words that you can say after what went on yesterday in Nashville,” he said. “Just a tragedy for those families and everybody affected. You don’t really realize it until you have kids of your own and the perspective. It hits you.” NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers, 7:00 p.m. Detroit Pistons at Oklahoma City Thunder, 8:00 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Chicago Bulls, 8:00 p.m. MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Chicago Cubs 8, Chicago White Sox 5 End Spring Training Thursday 2023 Opening Day Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays, 3:10 p.m. WSJM 2:45 Chicago White Sox at Houston Astros, 7:00 p.m. MLB – MLB free agent watch: Ohtani leads possible 2023-24 class Shohei Ohtani watch is on.

Ohtani is among a group of players going into their final season before they are eligible for free agency. There is still time for signatures and press conferences before opening day, but history shows a new contract becomes less likely once the real games begin. The list of impending free agents also includes Aaron Nola, Matt Chapman, Teoscar Hernández, Ian Happ and Julio Urías. NFL – AP sources: Two groups formally submit bids for Commanders Dan Snyder’s departure from the NFL is moving closer to reality. A group led by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales and another group led by Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos have submitted fully financed bids for the NFL’s Washington Commanders, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Two people confirmed the bid from Harris. Both spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because details of the bid have not been publicly announced. The Harris/Rales group includes basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta also has been in the running. Snyder had yet to accept an offer when the league’s finance committee met Monday so his future wasn’t openly discussed. NFL – Goodell: Commanders report to be released even if team sold Embattled Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder could very well sell the franchise before an investigation into his organization’s conduct can be complete. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said even if that’s the case, any report will be made public. Goodell said Tuesday at the league’s annual meetings that the NFL is “committed to releasing the findings.” Snyder and the Commanders are still under investigation by former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White. She was retained by the league to look into various aspects of the organization stemming from a congressional review into workplace misconduct. The review also included a referral to the Federal Trade Commission for potential business improprieties. NFL – Analysis: Ravens are Lamar Jackson’s best, only option Lamar Jackson’s frustration over contract negotiations reached a boiling point when he announced Monday that he has requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens. Staying in Baltimore might be his best and only option. If the two sides can’t agree on a long-term deal by July 17, Jackson could play this season on the $32.4 million franchise tag. The 2019 NFL MVP hasn’t generated any interest in free agency after the Ravens placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on him. Some teams immediately said they wouldn’t pursue Jackson. The Washington Commanders joined that list Monday. Olympics – Lawmakers back Paris Olympic law despite surveillance fears A proposed French law for the 2024 Paris Olympics that critics contend will open the door for privacy-busting video surveillance technology in Europe has passed an important hurdle. French lawmakers voted 400 to 93 on Tuesday for a bill that would legalize the temporary use of so-called intelligent surveillance systems to safeguard the Paris Games and Paralympics. The systems combine cameras with artificial intelligence software to flag potential security concerns like abandoned packages. Watchdog groups argue that France would violate international law by becoming the first European Union country to legalize AI-powered surveillance. Supporters argue the technology could help avert disasters like the crowd crush that killed nearly 160 people celebrating Halloween in South Korea. Olympics – IOC details advice to let Russia, Belarus athletes return Some Russian athletes can soon return to international sports, although their status for the Paris Olympics is still up in the air. The International Olympic Committee has recommended that individual athletes from Russia and Belarus should be allowed to return to competition under a neutral status as long as they have no military links. But the IOC held off on deciding whether they can compete at next year’s Paris Olympics. While the IOC said Russia and Belarus should remain barred from team sports such as soccer and basketball, it still defied repeated calls by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to exclude all Russian athletes while his country is being occupied and attacked.

Coach Carl Thomas, In this episode, you'll hear from Coach Carl Thomas. Coach Thomas is currently the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Cleary University. Cleary University is an NAIA university in the WHAC Conference. And, this past summer, Cleary University added both Men's & Women's Basketball. Cleary University will start competing next season. Coach Thomas is a STAPLE in the State of Michigan. A former three-sport athlete at Lansing Everett High School, Coach Thomas and his twin brother, Charles, selected Eastern Michigan as their college destination where they both had sensational college basketball careers. Playing for Coach Ben Braun, Coach Thomas was part of massive success at EMU - both as a team and personally. EMU would win two MAC Championships in 1988 and 1991. And, the 1991 team advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. Coach Carl finished his career at EMU with 1,179 points, 452 rebounds, 185 made three-pointers, and 249 assists. And recently, Coach Carl was named to the EMU Hall of Fame. After his great playing career in Ypsilanti, Coach Carl played 63 games in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and Orlando Magic. After his playing career concluded, Coach Thomas went into college coaching. Prior to being the first coach in the history of Cleary University, Coach Thomas has had coaching assistant stops at Maryland Eastern Shore, Owens Community College, and Eastern Michigan. In addition, Coach Thomas was a head junior college coach at Jackson College for four seasons. Coach Thomas spent the past six seasons on Duquesne University's coaching staff with Coach Keith Dambrot as the assistant to the head coach.

However, you will also hear a sense of loyalty for those who have played a part of his professional career which is inspiring. Finally, Coach Thomas is truly about family.

Today's guest was convicted of accessory to murder and imprisoned as a teenager to life without parole (LWOP). His unwavering hope led him to improve his education during his incarceration. He completed his high school requirements and obtained an Associate's degree in Para-Legal Services from Jackson College; and a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science from Spring Arbor University. He became a real "Jail-House Lawyer," serving others by filing legal documents and motions on their behalf. After serving over 42 years in prison, he has outlined ways to make the criminal justice system fairer and more effective for everyone. The DDP welcomes Edward Sanders.

Athletic director Alan Haller says the team needs a “fresh start” after a 12-23-1 season. The Spartans lost 15 of their last 16 games. Cole’s record over five seasons was 58-101-12. Cole was coach for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program before returning to MSU in 2017. Cole played on MSU’s 1986 national championship team. He and Don McSween share the school record for most games played, 180. Haller says Cole “put his heart” into his job as coach. Hockey – AP source: Women’s hockey talks between rivals break down The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association has decided to break off talks with the rival Premier Hockey Federation. Representatives from the PWHPA and PHF met in March at the request of the NHL. The NHL had hoped the discussions would thaw relations between the sides and get them to work together to unify the sport. The PHWPA is headlined by U.S. and Canadian national team players. It has long opposed uniting with the PHF back to the days it was known as the National Women’s Hockey League. NFL – Congress tells FTC Commanders may have broken financial laws The U.S. House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission saying it found evidence the NFL’s Washington Commanders engaged in potentially unlawful financial conduct. The committee says the team withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and refundable ticket deposits from season-ticket holders. The committee said emails, documents and statements made by former employees indicate team executives and owner Dan Snyder engaged in “a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct.” The NFL says it is engaging a former SEC chair to review the most serious allegations. Golf – Tiger Woods’ return to Masters a winner for TV networks Tiger Woods fell short of his goal of winning the Masters golf tournament in his stunning return from serious injuries suffered in an auto accident, but he was a winner for the television networks who followed the event. The Nielsen company said CBS’ coverage of the final round averaged nearly 10.2 million viewers — the most for any golf telecast since 2019, when Woods last won the coveted green jacket. ESPN’s coverage of the first two round scored its best numbers since 2018. ESPN’s peak moment for viewership came just as Woods was finishing up his second round. FIFA – FIFA warned court of World Cup chaos if Russia played FIFA successfully argued to sport’s highest court that letting Russia try to qualify for the World Cup risked doing “irreparable and chaotic” harm to the competition. The legal debate between FIFA and Russia’s soccer federation was published by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It explained why a CAS judge denied an urgent Russian request last month to freeze a FIFA ban on its teams. The interim ruling in Russia’s appeal was made on March 18 pending a full appeal hearing. That is likely due at CAS in the weeks ahead when Russian soccer will challenge FIFA again.

Athletic director Alan Haller says the team needs a “fresh start” after a 12-23-1 season. The Spartans lost 15 of their last 16 games. Cole’s record over five seasons was 58-101-12. Cole was coach for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program before returning to MSU in 2017. Cole played on MSU’s 1986 national championship team. He and Don McSween share the school record for most games played, 180. Haller says Cole “put his heart” into his job as coach. Hockey – AP source: Women’s hockey talks between rivals break down The Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association has decided to break off talks with the rival Premier Hockey Federation. Representatives from the PWHPA and PHF met in March at the request of the NHL. The NHL had hoped the discussions would thaw relations between the sides and get them to work together to unify the sport. The PHWPA is headlined by U.S. and Canadian national team players. It has long opposed uniting with the PHF back to the days it was known as the National Women’s Hockey League. NFL – Congress tells FTC Commanders may have broken financial laws The U.S. House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission saying it found evidence the NFL’s Washington Commanders engaged in potentially unlawful financial conduct. The committee says the team withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and refundable ticket deposits from season-ticket holders. The committee said emails, documents and statements made by former employees indicate team executives and owner Dan Snyder engaged in “a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct.” The NFL says it is engaging a former SEC chair to review the most serious allegations. Golf – Tiger Woods’ return to Masters a winner for TV networks Tiger Woods fell short of his goal of winning the Masters golf tournament in his stunning return from serious injuries suffered in an auto accident, but he was a winner for the television networks who followed the event. The Nielsen company said CBS’ coverage of the final round averaged nearly 10.2 million viewers — the most for any golf telecast since 2019, when Woods last won the coveted green jacket. ESPN’s coverage of the first two round scored its best numbers since 2018. ESPN’s peak moment for viewership came just as Woods was finishing up his second round. FIFA – FIFA warned court of World Cup chaos if Russia played FIFA successfully argued to sport’s highest court that letting Russia try to qualify for the World Cup risked doing “irreparable and chaotic” harm to the competition. The legal debate between FIFA and Russia’s soccer federation was published by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It explained why a CAS judge denied an urgent Russian request last month to freeze a FIFA ban on its teams. The interim ruling in Russia’s appeal was made on March 18 pending a full appeal hearing. That is likely due at CAS in the weeks ahead when Russian soccer will challenge FIFA again.

Wow! Danelle and I were so thankful to have Ted Kidd and Dylan Chapman join us for this is a jam packed eSports episode of the EdTech Loop Podcast. If you are at all curious about the eSports phenomenon this is a must listen as our guests break down almost any aspect you could think of concern the sport. As the TechNollerGist would say, "Play a game today, it's good for you." Full Show Transcript:Dylan Chapman 0:00 Yeah, I've got you loud and clear here.Danelle Brostrom 0:07 We lost DylanTed Kidd 0:08 He's frozenDanelle Brostrom 0:09 I know. Awe,Dylan Chapman 0:10 Hi, sorry about that. I got myself kicked out I think.Danelle Brostrom 0:13 Larry. Are you ready?Larry Burden 0:15 We are ready.Larry Burden 0:21 It's Episode 95 of the EdTech Loop podcast. My name is Larry Burden and she'll choose Yoshi over Mario every time. It's Danelle Brostrom. For the first time ever on The EdTech Loop podcast we are joined remotely by the heroes of Michigan High School eSports, Dylan Chapman and Ted Kidd. Before they joined us in our endless quest to level up, we've already discovered this week's Moment of Zen.Moment of Zen 0:47 Time passes, people move, like a rivers flow it never ends, a childish mind will turn to noble ambition.Larry Burden 0:58 Danelle has taken over the cooking duties and has barred me from the kitchen so she could remotely prepare this week's meat of the show. The Rise of Esports.Danelle Brostrom 1:19 So Ted, can you give us a little introduction on who you are?Ted Kidd 1:22 Ted Kidd work at Pinckney Community Schools. I'm the Director of Technology Operations and which is kind of a glorified network janitor job.Danelle Brostrom 1:31 And Dylan?Dylan Chapman 1:32 I'm a high school social studies teacher at Grass Lake High School.Danelle Brostrom 1:35 Tell me what is eSports?Dylan Chapman 1:37 eSport s is competitive online video game play. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, and it's being played at everywhere from the high school, even middle school level, all the way up to collegiate, and professional play.Danelle Brostrom 1:50 How long have eSports been going on here in Michigan?Ted Kidd 1:52 At the high school level it's, this is kind of the fourth year. In our experience we've seen some competitive tournaments happen at Lawrence Technical University, they started that about three years ago, and then just recently, Dylan, myself and a few others in the state of Michigan have formed a organization called MiHSEF or Michigan High School eSports Federation, to allow all high school eSports programs to compete against each other for free.Danelle Brostrom 2:24 Nice. What kind of benefits are the kids getting from eSports? Like how, how are you selling this to families because I guarantee you there's probably a lot of moms that are like, no that's not a real thing honey, go back to doing what you were doing before.Dylan Chapman 2:34 Some of the things that are like life skills or lessons that students learn are things like, communication, teamwork, sportsmanship. In a lot of ways, it's like traditional sports and then a lot of other ways it's not. But they learn a lot of the skills that they would on the football field, but in a just a different environment. So some things that are different that I think that they learn, are things like self learning. They're definitely motivated internally, like by themselves to push themselves further. The players participate as coaches a lot more than, than traditional sports and that gives the students a sense of leadership and control.Ted Kidd 3:12 The thing about eSports versus traditional sports, because you kind of mentioned as well, is the esports can be played all year round. So kids don't just play for, you know, a six week period and then leave. Some of them will play all year round. So they really get a sense of community when they enter an eSports program.Dylan Chapman 3:34 As far as communities that are in doubt that eSports is something to participate in or worthwhile. I would just point to the major professional competitions that have been happening. Just recently, the Fortnite competition where a 16 year old took home the biggest prize purse in professional sports history of $3 million. To say that eSports is just kind of a, either a flash in the pan, or something that shouldn't be taken seriously, I would point to those major competitions, such as the League of Legends competitions that sell out arenas like Little Caesars Arena, Madison Square Garden, week after week. People are all in. If people don't know yet, they're just kind of out of the loop and they'll soon recognize that eSports is probably here to stay and it's going to take a bigger and bigger role, in the sports field. This kind of as a side note, the benefits of being a collegiate eSports player is it's not governed by the NCAA is governed by a different organization called NAC, and they had specifically written the rules that they don't have the amateurism standard where they can make, they can only make less than $1 on their likeness. So a big part of eSports revenue for individuals is their streaming and their online, like, influencer presence. So they're allowed to make all that money. They're allowed to play professionally, and they're also allowed to get scholarships to go to school at the same time.Danelle Brostrom 4:59 That's amazing to me that a 16 year old could bring home a prize like that, and now we're selling out arenas like that for, for gaming. Did you ever see this, did you visualize this happening someday?Dylan Chapman 5:12 I think eSports has gone through a couple generations of evolution. You could probably take it back to the days of Madden, and those kind of competitions. Super Smash Brothers, which is still a game that's played, was one of those original, kind of big major tournament play games. Those are still being played all around the country and including in places like Michigan where the prizes can get up there into the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the size of the contest.Ted Kidd 5:40 So Dylan, really, you can date this back to, you know, in the day of Pac Man, and Miss Pac Man where...Dylan Chapman 5:46 Oh yeah,Ted Kidd 5:47 kids would come together and have these little mini tournaments at the local arcade to see who's the best. This is basically dated back to, to a place where video games have started. You know, Calicovision and Atari, and all those game consoles lended themselves well to the local competition.Dylan Chapman 6:07 I'd say if anything it's just becoming more widespread across age groups and demographics.Ted Kidd 6:11 And now with the internet and fast internet speeds, playing from home is definitely an option for a lot of kids and that's how they practice and get better.Danelle Brostrom 6:22 This is amazing. What kind of practice, do you think your eSport athletes are, what kind of practice times they putting in?Ted Kidd 6:30 So in the Pinckney District, we let them practice twice a week, two hours a night after school. And then they have matches twice a week. Sometimes they'll, they'll stay a little bit later to, to play against each other, or do another scrimmage online. So we have the kids in, after school, two hours a night, pretty much four days a week.Dylan Chapman 6:51 Same here with my program. I'm actually in my eSports lab right now. We were able to commandeer an underutilized space. And we have practice here after school four days a week. We have matches twice a week. And one of the benefits I would say for families is that it does help to manage screen time for the students. Like when they're obligated to play, they're not as apt to get on once they get home. They kind of have gotten it out of their system in a controlled environment, and they move on to doing the things that they're supposed to do when they get home.Ted Kidd 7:23 Yeah, like family time, homework.Danelle Brostrom 7:26 Good, we're advocating balance. What is the coach's role during those practices, what does the coach do to encourage?Ted Kidd 7:34 I'm gonna say most schools don't have coaches, they have advisors. And my job as, as an advisor is to just make sure they're in the right games, they're participating with their own team. Occasionally, we'll, we'll look at replay game footage to see what went right, what went wrong. When you study the film, just like in football, you can see where you made mistakes and get better. And then there's a lot of organizing that has to happen with these eSports programs. So things like fundraising, and just communicating with parents. Making sure that Athletic Directors and Superintendents, and Building Principals know what is going on. That's important. Communication is key.Dylan Chapman 8:18 Yeah, the administrative back end definitely takes the bulk of what the adults responsibility is when it comes to coaching. Most of the advisors don't have the hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay experience that the players themselves have. Which is why player coaches and captains play a different role than they do in traditional sports, and there's almost more responsibility and leadership on their shoulders because of that, which is in my opinion, all good.Danelle Brostrom 8:45 You said that you have a lab at your school, what, what what kind of hardware needs to have to get started?Dylan Chapman 8:49 Ted could probably talk about the technical side of this, but it definitely varies from school to school. Some schools are ready to go, all they have to do is kind of like, turn the lights on and they're able to do it. Some schools will have to have, bring your own equipment, for a time period until they're able to establish funding or get the resources that they need donated in whatever capacity.Ted Kidd 9:08 The technical side of things, depending on the games that your school wants to play, typically have to have at least six computers. And six is the number of machines needed for the game called Overwatch. With a team of Overwatch, you need pretty high end machines. I mean you don't need, you don't need to buy $2,000 desktops or anything but, for example, in Pinckney, we got Black Friday deal last year, and picked up 12 machines for $530 each. So, depending on where you look for the deals and specials you can really pick up, what you need relatively cheaply. Thankfully we were able to get a loan from our Athletic Department to get us started. In lieu of buying computers, you can also subscribe to a service called Shadowgaming. I don't want to advertise for them but, Shadowgaming is a service that allows anybody to create an account, and essentially you log into their, their account, all the computing is done in the cloud, at their facilities, and they essentially stream you, what you're doing online. It's a neat service. Unfortunately it's $20 per month, per account, so it's kind of a pricey investment. But if you don't have the resources available to get computers, it's a, it's an option for schools. There are some schools that are sharing spaces. So CAD Lab machines are typically a good way to use an area for a multi purpose. So CAD labs definitely have the, typically have the horsepower needed to to play these games.Dylan Chapman 10:47 At my school we're repurposing some Robotics laptops that had 3D rendering abilities, which gave us the computing power to run the games at a decent setting. But yeah, cloud based computer gaming services shadow is one, Nvidia, which is a graphics card producer, they also have another one. That one's currently free. If schools wanting to experiment with just one season of league play it would be a cheap way to dabble. But long term I think building your own machines is probably the most cost effective, and you can incorporate some hands on computer science learning. With what Ted has done to update those computers, long term, they're not going to go out of date so to speak, they can just be updated which is, I would say, a cheaper one of the sports to participate in if you think about the equipment costs for other traditionals so.Danelle Brostrom 11:40 You guys have mentioned the games a couple times. Talk to me about the games? How are the games chosen? Do you choose the games? Are there multiple games? How does that all work?Dylan Chapman 11:48 So with our high school league we've chosen to go with Teen rating and below. And what we're trying to do is mirror what colleges and universities are playing. And what the colleges and universities are doing is they're mirroring what the professionals are playing. It's not to say that that's the end goal for us is to produce professional players, but we want to open up a dialogue between colleges and universities and high schools, and give an avenue to students that aren't typically given those opportunities to get scholarships for athletics.Ted Kidd 12:19 The Teen rating, and I want to call it milder is important for schools. Because if we were to go to a rated M for Mature type of a rating for some of these games, you're looking at games with a lot of graphic violence, bloody, gory, realistic weaponry. To expose kids to it at a high school level I think is, right now irresponsible. Only because we don't know how communities will react to it, first of all, and your administration will shut you down if you do that. So, at this point, it's not a battle I want to fight at my school. So we definitely stick to the T rating.Danelle Brostrom 13:01 Now Dylan you mentioned scholarships. What kind of opportunities are available here, here in Michigan or beyond. But what kind of opportunities are available for these kids that are starting with you in the MiHSeF.Dylan Chapman 13:11 So I'd say that there's probably going on a dozen schools that offer varsity programs, which is scholarship opportunities for eSports. Most of those games are the games that we're playing in our league. That spectrum of games could change and we'll, we'll change with those changes. Schools like Davenport University, Aquinas College, Western has a major eSports lab, and arena. They're working on getting their scholarship program in motion. Surrounding states, especially in the Midwest Great Lakes area have kind of been at eSports for a while longer. So they have opportunities outside of the state and actually also in Canada. There are schools that offer scholarships, and if you have an athlete, you know your typical multi sport athlete, 4.0, who's also a top tier game player, and eSports, they're kind of picking and choosing what schools that they want to go to. So I have a student who fits the bill and all those describers that I just mentioned and he's literally just getting hounded by college recruiters for scholarship opportunities where they're matching half of his tuition and then he can on top of that stack his academic scholarship. So nearly a full ride to Division Two, Division One schools.Ted Kidd 14:25 I want to make sure we mentioned all the schools in Michigan that offer scholarships for eSports. Sienna Heights University, Jackson College, Alma College, Northwood University, Aquinas College, Davenport University and soon, Michigan Tech.Danelle Brostrom 14:42 Why are colleges, I mean, and businesses looking for these eSports players.Ted Kidd 14:48 So, colleges have seats to fill, we, we've just been up to Northwood University to tour their campus, tour the eSports facilities for our playoffs for the fall. And met with their Esports head coach. And he was just saying the university's tuition is down, they have seats to fill, and they're trying different ways to get kids to come to their college. I think in Michigan, we've, we've kind of had this population drain since the, the last recession in 2007 ish. And all the people that moved away took the kids with them. I think it's, it's really had an adverse effect on things like education. So, Northwood is doing anything and everything they can to get kids in those seats and eSports is just the next evolution of trying to entice, you know 10 kids from this population, 10 kids from that population. If you get 10 here 10 they're in a lot of different places, and all of a sudden you've made up for that, that loss.Dylan Chapman 15:53 And you're pulling from a diverse background of students to, from all over the state, because the students who play eSports transcend different demographics, and they're all interested in the same sorts of things. Usually like STEM related fields. So, those jobs are in high demand, and jobs in computer science and Michigan, there's a huge skill gap when it comes to workers. So trying to entice those kids to come together with other like minded students to become future partners or, or collaborators on the next app or whatever it might be, is what colleges and universities are trying to attract so they could put that quill in their head of alumni that have been successful,Ted Kidd 16:34 As far as businesses are concerned, I think they've already found out that the, the students that are interested in eSports typically have a stronger background in the STEM, STEAM areas. So they're looking at potential engineers, and maybe even graphic artists, video production people. Some of those people that are creative but have like a solid knowledge of math and science. And let's not forget to mention to that the United States military are doing the same thing. They're, they're actively recruiting eSports students as well.Dylan Chapman 17:10 And it's got the 21st century skill set that businesses are looking for when it comes to people who are remote, who are working together and problem solving towards a common goal. Being communative being adaptable, all of those things you've learned in game and also translate well into the office space.Danelle Brostrom 17:29 Quite a few connections to ISTE which we talk about as well in the edtech world. So, is gender equity, an issue, and eSports? And if so, what do you, what are you guys doing to help recruit some diverse people?Dylan Chapman 17:41 I mean, I think there's definitely a stigma, and a stereotype that your typical gamers a 15 year old boy. But, research shows that men and women of all age groups play games in some capacity. I mean look at your phone, you probably have some game on there that's just a casual type of play. But almost everybody as a gamer, even if they don't know it. Bringing people from that kind of casual play to competitive, is what we try to bridge the divide on. In my program we have quite a few girls, and because you're a female in the esports world you're kind of given an inflated profile when it comes to college recruitment. So I use that as kind of something that says like hey, you're a big fish in a small pond when it comes to being a female in this field because STEM fields also need females at this time too so. It's just a way to connect the dots to say, this is a high demand, high, highly lucrative field of work. And here's some pathways to get you more familiar with...Ted Kidd 18:41 So in, at the Pinckney eSports program for our fall season we have two girls and are playing out of 16 total students. So there's definitely, gender equity gap that we're seeing. We try to promote the girls as much as possible. Like on social media, especially last year when we had two students that got scholarships to, to colleges, and one of them was a, was a girl. And we did everything we could to make sure that her profile was, was featured on our social media site. Just saying, there are opportunities for, for women in this, in this area. And as a Tech Director, I don't have the skills needed personally to, to know how to bridge that gap and, but I'm always looking for ways to for people to tell me, hey, try this or try that. And I'm very receptive to it, because I know there is a gap there.Danelle Brostrom 19:39 So, this sounds amazing and already I'm thinking that my, my kids need to do this. Do you, do you need to be a gaming superstar to join the team?Ted Kidd 19:49 In, in Pinckney, you just have to be a body that shows up and plays. We do have a pay to participate fee, unfortunately, only because our district doesn't fund it out of their general funds. Anybody that's willing, able, and even if they're not able we try to accommodate, things like physical disabilities and handicaps as, as much as possible. So, yes, anybody, anybody can do this. At the lower levels, you know elementary, middle school, the first thing they can do is, is to get involved with Minecraft. I think Minecraft is an excellent entry point for eSports. Minecraft licenses are free for Michigan K-12,Danelle Brostrom 20:30 Are there any interesting new developments happening with your program or your league that you'd like to share?Dylan Chapman 20:35 Our playoffs, I'm excited about our playoffs. So we're making networking connections with different universities around the state and our playoffs will be held December 7 at Northwood University. We also have lined up our Spring and Winter playoffs as well at different universities across the state. All of our players are from all across the league are welcome to come and mingle with other students with similar interests, do some casual play and find out who the best in the state are.Ted Kidd 21:04 We've had a lot of schools that have reached out to us to contact us and they just want to know how to get started. Just yesterday I got a call from, I think, Menominee?Danelle Brostrom 21:15 Menominie, Yes,Ted Kidd 21:16 The ISD reached out to me yesterday and we had a pretty good discussion about how all of their School Districts up there could get started in eSports. So it's nice that we're having an impact, not just, you know in the population center of Michigan but up in the Upper Peninsula where, you know, kids might not have the same opportunities available. So, from what I've heard it's the Principals of the high schools that had this conversation, trying to get the ISD to help them. It's nice that the ISD is taking a leadership role to to get things like that started,Danelle Brostrom 21:48 What advice, did you give them? I'm curious, how do high schools get started with all this because yeah, this is amazing and we should all be doing it.Ted Kidd 21:55 Depending on what area you want to focus on you, you want to talk to both teachers and technology professionals. It seems like the tech people are needed to, to get things going, to provide the technical expert, expertise. But really, if you want to do this you have to get buy-in from either Superintendent, Athletic Director, Principal. And you have to have those stakeholders kind of on your side, because if they're not, then your programs doomed. Then you have to make sure that you have enough student interest to run a program. Certain schools in Michigan, that have built eSports programs, but can't get the kids to actually show up and play, which is bizarre in my mind, but it has happened. So if you build it, they won't necessarily come.Dylan Chapman 22:43 I would say first is kind of take the temperature of the school. See if there's an interest for it. If there is, find an advisor who's willing to dedicate a lot of time, and a lot of patience to starting a program. You definitely have to get in touch, like Ted said, with your technical support team because this is a lot of what I'm doing here is out of my skill set. We have a technical support staff member on our high school campus who helps me out almost on a daily basis to jump hurdles with connections, updates, and equipment all the time. Beyond that, organization, communication with the community on what you're doing, and buy-in from the top down,Ted Kidd 23:22 The final steps would be, make sure you have the equipment or the service to, to run the program, and join a league.Danelle Brostrom 23:29 How long is the competitive season, what kind of a commitment are we talking about?Ted Kidd 23:32 So for the MiHSeF League, our seasons are anywhere between six to eight weeks with a playoff. It varies based on the participation we get and the number of divisions that we have to kind of assemble.Dylan Chapman 23:44 I believe it's eight weeks.Ted Kidd 23:45 OkayDylan Chapman 23:46 So this season we're playing two games, which are Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and Overwatch. We play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That ran from about October 1 until mid November around that area. And then after Christmas break we're going to have a winter season, that will run from after Christmas break till right before spring break or so and then a spring season that runs from after spring break till just near summer. So different games throughout. Depending on interest we might add more games in. But like Ted said, the length of the season is really determined by the number of participating teams across the state. So schools have had multiple Super Smash Brothers teams and multiple Overwatch teams. It's been going really smooth.Ted Kidd 24:29 Yeah, for our first season this fall, we had 12 schools participate. Which is incredible when we compare that to other states surrounding us and what they said their numbers were for their first seasons. So in Super Smash Brothers we have 25 teams from those 12 schools. In Overwatch, unfortunately we only have 11 teams. We have one school that didn't want to participate in Overwatch, and that's okay.Dylan Chapman 24:52 This is our first season of our first year of operation and schools have been signing up as the season's been underway. So I imagine next year we'll have a much better turnout. And even next season with the games that we're playing will have a better turnout as far as number of schools.Danelle Brostrom 25:08 I keep hearing those same two games being talked about. I keep hearing Super Smash Brothers and Overwatch. What is it about those two games that either coaches are interested in, or kids are interested in or why those two?Danelle Brostrom 25:17 The kids are definitely interested in Super Smash Brothers right now. It is the hot game. There are not just our league running it but there's tournaments popping up at colleges. Like every other weekend we see colleges running a Super Smash tournament.Dylan Chapman 25:34 It's a very casual, social game, but it can also be extremely technical. It's like a game that you can play with your grandma, and then a game that you can play with the most professional players. So it appeals to a wide variety of players. And then Overwatch is a team based strategy, kind of capture the flag type of game. Defend the, defend an area kind of game with a lot of communication that's necessary and character types. That game I can see how that is a feeder program into the US military.Ted Kidd 26:07 The United States Army eSports team has an Overwatch team that, and they're always on Twitter, talking about how to do certain things. They create videos for, for other players. It's really a cool program.Danelle Brostrom 26:21 What do you hope for in terms of the future of your program or this league?Dylan Chapman 26:25 I just hope for it to expand further beyond. To incorporate more schools, of course.Ted Kidd 26:30 Kind of the vision and mission that we have for MiHSeF is to make sure that eSports is something that's viable for Michigan K-12. We have applied for our nonprofit organization status. So we want to make sure that we are able to find sponsorships and partnerships with businesses so that we can provide opportunities for students. Some of the things that we were thinking about we're providing mini grants for schools that can't afford to start eSports. To give them that initial capital to maybe get a few machines and get going. Right now we just have to focus on getting started.Dylan Chapman 27:07 I'd like to see a middle school program emerge as well if somebody wants to take the reins on that. Work with us to create interest at the middle school level and start building those skill sets so that way we have just, you know, just like the other traditional sports they have middle school football and basketball and baseball, if we can extend that down to the middle school level for eSports that'd be great. The more schools we get, we've got regional play, some interstate play, because, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, they all have eSports leagues as well, and we've been piggybacking off of what works for them to create the league that we have now.Ted Kidd 27:40 Just because it's a sit down competition, doesn't mean that it's necessarily a event or sport that doesn't include some activity. One of the things that high schools right now are doing is looking at the psychological nature of eSports and, and how to make sure kids are in the right mindset to play. We've been looking at physical fitness programs and regiments with our conditioning coach in Pinckney. Unfortunately, we couldn't do it this year because our Athletic Director told us, Hey your kids need to have physicals in order to do some of this stuff. So right now we just have them kind of walking around the school in between matches just to, you know, kind of get loose, clear their heads.Dylan Chapman 28:24 Some schools are doing some sort of like, meditative yoga in between sessions. Some schools run kickball tournaments on the weekends to, to balance activity with mental kind of activities. And in gameplay, there's stats out there that show the players heart rates get up into the 120's and their, their blood is pumping and they're excited. So it's not like a couch potato type of thing, it's a very edge of your seat kind of activity. And really containing excitement, and keeping a cool head is part of the challenge of eSports. And that's also a translatable skill into the office place which is trying to keep a cool head while trying to focus on your end result in a stressful environment.Ted Kidd 29:05 There's a local food pantry in the Pinckney area that we always make sure that we have a fundraiser to benefit them. And it's all about the giving back, type of mentality. Always looking at ways to give back, is something that the eSports community as a whole has done. There's organizations like Gamers for Giving.Dylan Chapman 29:29 Gamers Outreach, there's a program that started in Saline actually, Saline, Michigan, where gamers go around with portable consoles to the Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor and just play video games with them. So the eSports world is definitely all about giving back, even if they haven't hit this kind of superstar status, it gives players, a platform to make their mark in the world.Danelle Brostrom 29:53 This is the stuff that I love and this is why I think this podcast is really important, because I feel like some people if they don't understand it they dismiss it. It's, it's just kids playing video games, I don't understand why this is, why this is athletic, or why this is good or, but all the things that the kids are learning while they're playing these games, it's, those are transfer, transferable to any industry, and college and we want the kids to do these kinds of things.Ted Kidd 30:17 Because of the, the learning that can happen. Having the adults in the room is the important step to make sure that they are getting the things taught to them that they need to be. Simple things like not getting upset when you lose, lose a match. You know, teaching them sportsmanship. Those are the skills that they need to have because if they get upset while they're at work and they break a keyboard or throw a mouse, it could get them fired. So we want to make sure that we, we teach them those skills like they have in any other traditional sport.Dylan Chapman 30:49 Except for we can also offer digital citizenship skills when communicating virtually with other schools and teams. So, how to communicate on a sportsman like level with other, with other players. And when we have hangups and problems, how to resolve those issues, in a negotiated, compromising way. It's good for the students to see that model by the advisors, and it's also nice to see the students do that.Ted Kidd 31:11 I think those are the types of skills that you want to promote to kids in your area. That's like the core of why all these schools are doing these things is to teach those skills.Danelle Brostrom 31:25 I feel like this is about to blow up and you guys have done a ton of work, getting this started in Michigan.Ted Kidd 31:29 A ton of work is very much an understatement here. There, there has been so much work involved to get this going. It's, it really blows my mind about how much each one of our members schools have done, just getting started. How much our board has done to make this a reality. I give everybody that's involved a ton of credit for just participating, having some input, writing the rules for games, developing a Policy Handbook, driving to different places to have meetings with each other, just so that everybody's on the same page. It's been a lot of work, but it's also been fun.Dylan Chapman 32:07 And it's been a 100% grassroots effort, based on a nonprofit, not for profit sort of model that's completely focused on student experience and student outcomes.Danelle Brostrom 32:16 Larry's handing me questions as we speak, is the,Dylan Chapman 32:20 Thanks LarryDanelle Brostrom 32:20 is there MHSAA involvement with eSports?Dylan Chapman 32:23 They're kind of sit and watch sit and wait, sort of pattern right now. What they would want to do if they were to do something like this, is they would probably try to get somebody to break the ice on this and do exactly what we're doing. We tried to write our rules and policies in line with their rules and policies so that way when they do take it on that there's no, you know, reinventing, what eSports is so that way the transitions just really smooth,Ted Kidd 32:50 We've actually reached out to the MHSAA to gauge their interest and tell them about what we're doing. There is the reality that we're facing that they may not want to ever do eSports. And in which case, we're, you know, building the foundation for high school eSports in Michigan right now, and that wouldn't be a bad thing. It also wouldn't be a bad thing if they did take it over, as long as we were able to have some input and provide the framework and structure to allow that to happen.Dylan Chapman 33:22 Because we, we kind of know what works now. So they definitely be seeking guidance from somebody who's been through it already. So we're definitely willing to work with them whenever they're ready to take on eSports as part of the Michigan High School Athletics Association umbrella.Ted Kidd 33:37 We just want to get people involved. We want to get schools involved. We want to get students excited about this, and it gives them the opportunity to, you know, learn. Because then the opportunity to have potential scholarships in college.Dylan Chapman 33:53 I've seen, not only do they have to hold themselves to the academic standards of eligibility requirements as far as what our schools policy is based on but their attitude towards school I've seen it change. I've seen their focus pick up, because I've built that relationship with them through eSports. And then I'm sure that's translating and other classes as well.Ted Kidd 34:14 Perry High School in Perry, Michigan, Zach Gardner runs that program there, along with his desktop technician, Josh, and they have a really high free and reduced rate in their school. So one of the things that they've done is they've gotten a after school meal program for their kids.Dylan Chapman 34:33 Which is federally funded and fully supported to pay the staff and buy the food, and now they're serving breakfast, lunch and dinner at their school. And they have a great after school activity which is eSports.Ted Kidd 34:46 He's also been able to acquire some Title 4 funds for his program to actually buy things. Just because he has a high free and reduced population doesn't mean that his kids can't have all the nice things that every other school district can and should have. So he's been buying gaming chairs and upgrading his computers, buying gaming monitors. With a high free and reduced population, you have kids that just don't care about school. They're more interested in, in figuring out where their next meal is coming from. They might have situations at home that they don't want to have to deal with but have to deal with anyway. So he's trying to make it an atmosphere where kids can come and be in a safe environment,Dylan Chapman 35:25 Make friends, learn how to deal with frustrations in a controlled environment. It's great.Ted Kidd 35:29 And also, get them involved in school so that their grades are high enough to actually compete. He's had a couple of kids that were failing that he's just told them, Hey, you have to, you know, meet the minimum requirements to be part of this and thankfully they did. And I think that's a testament to how eSports can affect kids.Dylan Chapman 35:48 if eSports can help a kid graduate high school, you know, mission accomplished. If they can get a scholarship on top of that,Ted Kidd 35:53 Icing on the cake.Danelle Brostrom 35:54 Exactly.Dylan Chapman 35:55 I don't want to jinx myself but I haven't really seen the downside of eSports yet.Danelle Brostrom 35:59 So where do we go if we want to learn more about MiHSeF or we want to get started?Ted Kidd 36:03 MiHSeF website is mihsef.org. You can email info@mihsef.org, and somebody will answer any questions. All of our rules, there's some technical documents, policy handbooks.Dylan Chapman 36:18 How to, how to start a eSports team PowerPoint presentation on there.Ted Kidd 36:23 We're developing more and more documents as resources for schools. But the website is really the hub and spoke of MiHSeF right now, where you find any and all the information that we have.Danelle Brostrom 36:36 Awesome! What is your Twitter for those of us who need to know?Ted Kidd 36:39 I think it's just @MiHSeF, very easy.Danelle Brostrom 36:41 Perfect. Honestly guys, MiHSeF and, and in your work you're providing some amazing opportunities to Michigan's kids so, thank you. This is awesome.Dylan Chapman 36:49 We're glad to do it.Ted Kidd 36:51 Definitely.Larry Burden 36:51 So in closing, follow us on Facebook and Twitter @tcapsloopDanelle Brostrom 36:54 @brostromdaLarry Burden 36:55 Subscribe to the podcast on podbean, iTunes, Stitcher, Tune-in, downcast, overcast, the Google Play Store and Spotify or wherever else you get your ear candy, leave a review we love the feedback.

Dr. Dollye Robinson grew up in a musical family, two blocks from what is now Jackson State University. In this episode, she recalls how being surrounded by music inspired her to become a band director. While attending Lanier High School, Robinson would often rehearse with the Jackson College band. She remembers how that experience landed her a music scholarship after graduation. As a music major at Jackson College in the 1940s, Robinson joined the Duke Otis Orchestra. She describes the challenges of being a female, first-trumpet player in an all-male dance band. After Robinson graduated from Jackson College, she became an assistant band director at a high school in Brookhaven. She explains how being teased by alumni from other colleges, over the meager size of the Jackson College band, led her to return to her alma mater to help recruit new members. In 1952, Robinson became the Assistant Band Director and Instructor of Music at JSU. She left long enough to earn two master’s degrees and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University and has served JSU as the head of the Department of Music, Chair of the Division of Fine Arts, Associate Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Mississippi Moments is written and produced by Ross Walton, with narration by Bill Ellison. PHOTO: jacksonstate.wordpress.com
