A look around the wide world of high school sports and the web that covers it. Well, not the whole world, mostly just the distance between Lake Michigan and somewhere-in-the-vicinity-of-Lansing, give or take about 50-miles. In an order wholly indecipherable to the naked eye. So look closely: Feb. 3 high school basketball scores (boys) (girls) — [...] Wayland's Wes Hudson drives the lane | Louis Murray, Murray Sports Photography You can make comparisons between teams based on records, outcomes versus common opponents, perceived strengths and weaknesses, style of play, and any number of other factors. As a sportswriter, it’s part of the gig to speculate on these things. But Tuesday night’s West [...] A look around the wide world of high school sports and the web that covers it. Well, not the whole world, mostly just the distance between Lake Michigan and somewhere-in-the-vicinity-of-Lansing, give or take about 50-miles. In an order wholly indecipherable to the naked eye. So look closely: Top-1o teams in the area — Grand Rapids Press A look around the wide world of high school sports and the web that covers it. Well, not the whole world, mostly just the distance between Lake Michigan and somewhere-in-the-vicinity-of-Lansing, give or take about 50-miles. In an order wholly indecipherable to the naked eye. So look closely: Lowell wins Division-2 title — Grand Rapids Press Gerry McCaffrey, longstanding football, softball and volleyball official in the Grand Rapids area, passed away on August 8 after losing a five-month battle with lung cancer. McCaffrey was fighting an uphill battle since April, as he was diagnosed with the disease relatively late in its progression. McCaffrey will be missed. Prayers and thoughts go out [...] The latest news has punter Mike Sadler of Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern headed to Michigan State next year. According to Sadler, there was never a doubt about where he would go to school. Lucky Spartans, in more ways than one; Sadler is a 4.0 student who scored a 32 on his ACT. New position [...] For the second installment in a series titled, “Better Know Your Area’s Soccer Squads” (it’s really titled “Preseason Top 10,” but the former is much more catchy, in my humble opinion), The Zoo Sports explores the Grand Rapids Area. Observe, enjoy, and see if you don’t learn a thing or two: Fill each squad with all-stars, so that every player on the floor led his or her team in multiple statistics during the season, and it becomes a different kind of basketball game. On a team full of all-stars, and playing against a team full of all-stars, every player on the court is accustomed to winning. Trophies, [...] The ballots are now open on the 2009 West Michigan All Stars – a team of All-Stars selected from the elite baseball players around West Michigan. This contest is sponsored by the good folks at Good GMC Isuzu and WOOD Radio 1300am. The West Michigan All Stars are determined entirely by you, the WMAS reader. So [...] [EDIT (6/10/09): Dennis was not drafted in the first three rounds of the MLB draft, nor in the first two consolation rounds. Therefore he will be a Wolverine next year. Not sure whether his earlier declaration that he would probably go to UofM hurt his draft value, or if the fact that he didn't get [...] Nominations are streaming in at a steady clip for the 2009 West Michigan All Stars baseball team, sponsored by Good GMC Isuzu and Wood Radio 1300. Through your submissions we’ve compiled an excellent list of the best-of-the-best high school baseball players in all the O-K Conferences around West Michigan. If this pace keeps up, we [...] Forest Hills Central added another trophy to their growing case with a recent Boys Golf Division 1 state championship victory. I certainly don’t want to jinx anyone (and don’t tell EGR), but they’re making a pretty legit case for schoolwide athletic supremacy in the GR area for 2009… Playoffs schmayoffs. Who needs ‘em when you’ve got Laxpower.com, who went to the trouble of ranking the top 15 boys lacrosse teams in the state and the top 15 girls lacrosse teams in the state. I’ll leave it up to you whether it has any bearing whatsoever on overall performance… We here at West Michigan All Star, along with title sponsor Good GMC Isuzu, and WOOD 1300AM, will be putting together a lineup of the elite baseball players in West Michigan – the 2009 West Michigan Baseball All Stars. Of course we have our own ideas as to who should make the grade, but our ideas [...] If you consider yourself a golfer, you may want to skip this one. A 9-year-old golfer from Rockford recorded his first hole-in-one on Monday. Jake O’Dette, currently in third grade, used an 8-iron to record the ace on the 91-yard, seventh hole at Tustin Trails Golf Course, about 10 miles south of Cadillac… |
