The 6-foot, 165-pound running back played a starring role as Zeeland West defeated Detroit Martin Luther King 42-22 in the Division 3 championship game at Ford Field to claim the program’s fifth Finals title and first since 2015. Hendricks scored an 11-Player Finals record six touchdowns, on runs of 49, 14 and 30 yards and passes of six, 11 and eight yards. Those six TDs also gave him the Finals record of 36 points scored.

Hendricks also finished with a team-high 129 yards rushing on 16 carries and caught all three passes completed by the run-heavy T-formation Dux, who threw only four times while running the ball 47. Also a defensive back, had had two tackles and a forced fumble. Hendricks finished this season with 1,576 yards and 22 touchdowns rushing on 146 carries, and 26 touchdowns total with four more receiving. He also plays basketball and competes in track & field in both hurdles races, the 400 and 800 relays and long jump, making the MHSAA Finals in those four running events in the spring.

Performance of the Week: Bay City Western's Drew Goik

May 23, 2025

Goik sank a birdie putt in a playoff hole to edge teammate Logan Gehoski for the medalist honor at the Bay County Championship at Green Hills Golf Course in Pinconning after both had helped their team card a tournament record-292 to claim the team championship. The playoff was only the third during the event’s 56-year history – and first since Goik’s father Brent also won a tie-breaker in 1992.

Both Drew Goik and Gehoski shot 1-under-par 71 to set up the playoff. Goik, while growing up around the sport, is a relative newcomer playing it having taken it up during the summer before his freshman year of high school. He previously played baseball most intensely growing up and also played basketball at Western his first two years of high school before turning his focus to golf this past winter. The Bay County win was his third tournament title this spring.
