It’s funny how some stories can stay underground long after they should have been shouted from the rooftops. Such is the case with the play of Covert guard Amere May Jr. The soft-spoken guard has lead his Bulldogs to a respectable record of 8-5 this season, and has done it against some very talented opposition [...]

Last week’s winner: slowride. Caption: Helium, in the ball???????? Congrats, slowride! Well played with the wonky shot picture. This week’s pic is kind of odd. It’s a basketball action pic, which would be normal, except it seems like a couple guys got abducted by aliens or something. M. Night Shyamalan style. Anyway, once again, best caption for [...] There is something special about a game of basketball played at the old Holland Civic Center. Maybe it is the dull, yellowish court lights. Maybe it is the creaky bleachers and the worn-down scoreboard. When Byron Center rolled into town to challenge the host Holland Christian Maroons in a critical O-K green [...] Otsego's Carl Nord shoots a layup | Craig Powers, Powers Media Complete pictures from this game (over 50 pics) can be found here. They say the gauge of a great player is the effect he has on his teammates. While the Klein brothers, Derek and Jared, justifiably garner the lion’s share of the publicity for Otsego’s [...] Each week, West Michigan Allstar takes our blogging circus over hill and dale to a high school gymnasium around West Michigan. It’s traditionally one of the biggest games in the area, with the top players and teams duking it out against one another (we like to watch that stuff, too), and this week is no [...] A weekly feature in which we spotlight a player from the West Michigan area, comparing him to his NBA or major NCAA counterpart based on his playing style, talent (relative, of course), appearance or anything else that warrants a comparison. Ryan Sabin (L) looks for room against Grandville | Louis Murray, Murray Sports Photography Ryan [...] Photographer’s note: Please feel free to disseminate these pictures in any format. We take them especially for you, and hope you enjoy. We only ask that you give credit to West Michigan Allstar (and Louis Murray) if you publish them, and shoot a link to this page if you use them online. Cheers! Grandville's Nate Allspach (50) [...] Grandville's Terrence Harris was a beast on the boards | Louis Murray, Murray Sports Photography Entering Friday’s game against Byron Center, the Grandville Bulldogs had developed a reputation for inconsistency. They’d struggled to string wins together, and even worse, they were smack dab at the bottom of one of the dips in their season rollercoaster, [...] Each week, West Michigan Allstar takes our blogging circus over hill and dale to a high school gymnasium around West Michigan. It’s traditionally one of the biggest games in the area, with the top players and teams duking it out against one another (we like to watch that stuff, too), and this week is no [...] It figures that 2010 would start off with a bang. In the first Tuesday of the new year, two of the Top-10 teams in West Michigan were upset by theoretically less-talented opponents. First (neither chronologically nor in order of importance; pretty much just arbitrarily), #3 Rockford was outplayed by Grandville from the opening tip-off and [...] One of the trending topics this week down at the Mlive forums has been Amere May Jr. scoring 57-points (or 58-points, or 60-points, depending on who you ask) in a win over Michigan Lutheran, breaking the Covert single-game individual scoring record. This is a remarkable feat in itself, but perhaps more remarkable is the fact [...] Ravenna is one of two newcomers carrying the Skee-town mantle into the semifinals. But for how long? In 2008, West Michigan won seven state football championships out of eight possible divisions, and Muskegon County won four of those seven. It was an accomplishment that nobody imagined could be repeated, and after the elimination of [...] This week’s Good GMC West Michigan Allstar is Brad Fargo, senior captain of Grandville’s water polo team. Fargo’s goal against arch-rival Jenison helped spark a second-half rally that saw Grandville emerge with a 10-3 win, reclaiming the coveted Flat Ball trophy and improving their overall record to 7-1. Fargo attributed the mid-game turnaround to a [...] Mendon leaps opponents of average height in a single bound It seems like every fall, a football team emerges that is simply better than its opposition. A team that dominates all aspects of the game on a consistent basis. Often it’s multiple teams, as it was last year with Holland Christian, Muskegon, Muskegon Oakridge and [...] |
