MHSAA Announces Sites, Schedule Details for Winter Indoor Sports Finals
By

The Michigan High School Athletic Association has confirmed sites for its indoor Winter sports championship rounds, including an adjustment for the Individual Wrestling Finals that will allow more fans to attend that event after an increase in spectators limits was put into effect March 5 by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
The Individual Wrestling Finals previously were announced to be competed in full at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo. However, a change moving two divisions to Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids will allow for more fans, primarily immediate family, to attend. Previously, wrestlers were to be limited to one spectator per participant; with multiple sites, wrestlers will be allowed multiple spectators each.
Similarly, Van Andel and the Breslin Center in East Lansing will host additional events to allow more fans to attend championship rounds in competitive cheer and girls and boys basketball. Both facilities have capacities of more than 10,000 spectators and may host up to 750 per MDHHS guidelines.
The Competitive Cheer Finals will move to Breslin Center to allow more fans to attend compared to other venues that were being considered. Semifinals in girls and boys basketball will be split by divisions between Breslin Center and Van Andel Arena, in part to provide for greater attendance and also to keep those rounds scheduled to just two locations instead of spreading games across a number of others.
The following are sites and schedules for Finals weekends for the remaining MHSAA Tournaments this winter, with further updates to be posted to the MHSAA Website:

Performance of the Week: Fowler's Katie Spicer
March 27, 2025
Katie Spicer ♦ Fowler
Senior ♦ Basketball
After leading Fowler in scoring all season, Katie Spicer capped off her senior year with a game-high 17 points in a commanding 53-29 win over Ewen-Trout Creek in the MHSAA Division 4 Final. She also added three rebounds and three assists in the championship victory. Just two days earlier, Spicer helped lift the Eagles past Genesee Christian in the Semifinals, contributing 12 points and seven rebounds.
Spicer averaged 12.5 points per game this season, helping Fowler to a 27-2 record. After falling in the Semifinals in both 2023 and 2024, the Eagles broke through to claim their third Division 4 title over the past five years – and their fourth overall. In addition to her basketball success, Spicer played a key role on the 2024 Fowler girls track & field team that captured the LPD4 Finals championship. She finished second in the 100-meter dash, third in the 200, sixth in the 400, and second in the long jump. Spicer will continue her athletic career at Saginaw Valley State University, competing in track & field.
