Performance of the Week: Fruitport's Ryan Bosch
May 8, 2025
Ryan Bosch ♦ Fruitport
Senior ♦ Baseball
Bosch is finishing up an all-state career at Fruitport this spring, and he led the Trojans to a historic accomplishment this past weekend. He struck out 15 batters Saturday as Fruitport defeated North Muskegon 9-1 to win its first Greater Muskegon Athletic Association Tournament championship since 1991. Bosch also hit a solo home run to complete his team’s scoring.
Fruitport is 16-1 this spring and 12-1 in the Ottawa-Kent Conference Silver, and finished last week ranked No. 19 in Division 2 while North Muskegon was ranked No. 4 in Division 3. The 6-foot-8 left-handed pitcher made the all-state second team as a first baseman in 2023 and contributed this past winter to a Fruitport basketball team that finished 17-6. He has signed to play baseball next at Wake Forest.

MHSAA Sportsmanship Summits to be Presented for First Time Since 2019

September 28, 2022
The Michigan High School Athletic Association’s annual Sportsmanship Summit series will return this fall to be conducted for the first time since 2019, again focusing on sportsmanship both on and off the field of play.
The MHSAA has conducted Sportsmanship Summits across Michigan for more than 20 years, and this year’s series kicks off Nov. 7 in Marquette and finishes Nov. 16 in Ypsilanti.
MHSAA staff, with assistance from school administrators and the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, conduct Sportsmanship Summits. More than 800 students are expected to take part in the four workshops, where they will discuss the line that separates good from bad sportsmanship, both as athletes during competition and when it comes to cheering at athletic events.
Workshop sessions will feature hands-on activities including one session developed and instructed by members of the Student Advisory Council. At the end of the day the delegation from each participating school will meet to develop a school sportsmanship campaign. Breakouts at each Summit also provide a great opportunity for student sections to learn about appropriate student section behavior. There will be information for the veteran student sections, as well as guides for schools that want to start their own organized student sections for the first time.
“Winning is great, but good sportsmanship helps develop habits that can be used well beyond the playing field,” said MHSAA assistant director Andy Frushour, the lead Sportsmanship Summits presenter. “A lively student section can create a fun and exciting atmosphere at games, but we want to make sure students don’t take this a step too far. The Summits are a great way to learn from other schools around the state.”
Sessions will take place at the following:
• Marquette – Nov. 7 – NMU Northern Center – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Saginaw – Nov. 9 – SVSU Conference Center – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Grand Rapids – Nov. 14 – Sheraton Grand Rapids Airport Hotel – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Ypsilanti – Nov. 16 – Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest – 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Registration at each site is limited to the first 225 students and administrators. Schools are welcome to bring as many as 10 total representatives, including two administrators. For additional registration information, contact Andy Frushour at the MHSAA office – [email protected] or (517) 332-5046. Registration information also is available on the MHSAA Website.
