Performance of the Week: Allen Park's Sophie Ramey
February 20, 2026
Sophie Ramey ♦ Allen Park
Senior ♦ Competitive Cheer
Ramey, a two-time Division 2 all-state first-team selection, was among top contributors as Allen Park clinched a repeat title in the Downriver League with a season-high three-round score of 796.10 points at the conference championship meet. The Jaguars won by just less than a point ahead of rival Gibraltar Carlson, clinching the league title with a season-best 323.6 in Round 3.
Allen Park remains ranked No. 1 statewide in Division 2 this week, while Carlson is No. 2 statewide, and those two programs have combined to win the last 18 Division 2 Finals championships with Allen Park finishing first the last two seasons. Ramey was a major part of both of those teams as well and is considering continuing to cheer after leaving Allen Park to attend Grand Valley State University, where she plans to study secondary education while majoring in mathematics and minoring in psychology.

Performance of the Week: Big Rapids' Kate Posey
September 5, 2025
Kate Posey ♦ Big Rapids
Senior ♦ Golf
Posey is off to a magnificent start to her senior season, and it’s included a career first. A four-year high school golfer who tied for 18th individually at last season’s Lower Peninsula Division 3 Final, Posey drilled her first hole-in-one, on No. 8 at Katke Golf Course at Ferris State on Aug. 26 during her team’s first Central State Activities Association event this fall. She used a 9-iron to ace the 117-yard hole.
Big Rapids is the reigning CSAA champion and won the tournament, with Posey shooting a first-place 75. She then finished second at the Whitehall Invitational a day later and Tuesday carded an 80 to win the Lady Tullymore Invitational against a field that included several top teams from the west side of the state. Posey also serves as manager/statistician for Big Rapids’ girls basketball and softball teams and would like to study sports medicine and play golf in college.
