Current Sports | 6/17/16 | #725

Remembering Ron Mason, Ron Mason Memorial, Jason Ruff, American Ninja Warrior, Alex McChriston, NBA Finals, Ayesha Curry, and Reflection Friday.

  On today's "Current Sports with AL Martin" the Ron Mason remembrances continue to pour in. Al presents his report and invites Current Sports production assistant and hockey aficionado Jason Ruff to the show to summarize Mason's contributions to the Michigan State community. Then, one of the most intriguing features of the year comes around to the show as Alex McChriston, founder of Mid-Michigan Ninja Training, joins the show to talk about his ninja training facility. The East Lansing native also gives the scoop on what it takes to be on the show American Ninja Warrior. And finally, Al and Isaac had to talk about the NBA Finals. 

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
