McRecco McFadden III ♦ Burton Bentley
Senior ♦ Basketball
The 6-foot-5 guard became the first career 1,000-point scorer in Burton Bentley history during holiday break with a 25-point performance in his team’s 71-24 win over Burton Atherton on Dec. 27. Bentley is 6-4 and on a four-game winning streak heading into Friday’s game against Flint Hamady.
McFadden has been a high-volume scorer for Bentley for multiple seasons and was averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game heading into this week. He earned all-area honorable mention from the Flint Journal last season and is considering several opportunities to continue playing basketball at the collegiate level.

Performance of the Week: Grayling's Jordan Peters
September 12, 2024
Jordan Peters ♦ Grayling
Junior ♦ Soccer
Peters is anchoring a record-setting defensive effort as Grayling is off to an 8-0 start for the first time and has put together a streak of eight straight shutouts also for the first time in program history. The most recent win, 1-0 over Elk Rapids on Monday, was the Vikings’ first over the Elks since 2009. Grayling is unranked, but Elk Rapids entered this week No. 14 in Division 3.
A varsity keeper since freshman year, Peters has played a major role as Grayling has improved from 9-12-1 in 2022 to 17-6-1 last season to building high expectations with its start this fall. Peters has been in net for the entirety of every game this year, and the eight straight shutouts are tied for the 14th-longest individual scoreless game streak by a keeper in state history. Peters also wrestles and made his Division 3 Individual District Semifinals at 157 pounds last season, and he ran primarily hurdles and on the 400 relay for the track & field team last spring.
