This week’s Create-a-Caption picture is from Rockford’s convincing victory over Grand Haven. Well, sort of. The picture was taken during the game, but the impact that the events depicted in the picture actually had on the game itself is certainly debatable. I mean, they might have, if that mini-football errantly found its way onto the [...]

High quality professional prints from the game available from David Chandler Photography.
The Grand Haven Buccaneers (14-3) traveled into a hostile black-out crowd for a battle with the Rockford Rams (12-5) Friday night. The Bucs held a slight, one game lead going into the affair, and [...]

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 [...]

Rockford's Ryan Majerle looks for room | Craig Powers, Powers Media
With about two minutes left to play in the third quarter, Hudsonville senior center Austin Elling was fouled on a layup to cap a 11-0 Hudsonville run, putting the Eagles up nine. Clutching his shoulder, he briskly walked to the bench, and was escorted [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last week’s winner: mememememe. Caption: Headband . . . $1.00 . . . Black Socks . . . $3.00 . . . Levitation Shoes . . . Priceless!!
Congratulations, mememememe! Big hugs all around.
Rebounding is an art, they say. They also say it’s all heart. Either way, this week’s photo from the Grand Haven/Rockford girls [...]

Ryan Majerle (4) looks for room against Nate VanArendonk | Louis Murray, Murray Sports Photography
Trailing by three points with under five seconds remaining, an entire court length between them and the basket, Grand Haven looked as though rival Rockford had them on the ropes. And then something crazy happened.
After a deep inbounds pass [...]

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 [...]

A glance into the stands revealed that several coaches and players from teams all over West Michigan were taking in the game. Drew Neitzel, 2004 Mr. [...]
