EAST LANSING, MI (WTVB) – The M.H.S.A.A.’s Representative Council has approved an increase in the number of regular-season games for Michigan high school basketball teams.
The Council approved a Basketball Committee proposal that will allow high school basketball teams to play up to 22 regular-season games at every level (varsity, junior varsity and freshman).
The change takes effect in time for the 2022-2023 season.
Teams previously played a maximum of 20 games during the regular season.
The MHSAA says this adjustment will bring Michigan school schedules in line with what is allowed in most other Midwest states.
Additionally as part of that proposal, mandatory preseason practice was reduced by one week, allowing teams to begin playing games after 14 days instead of 21.
The Council also approved a proposal by the Classification Committee that will result in postseason divisions more reflective of the number of schools actively sponsoring teams for that season.
