The Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central girls golf team entered the postseason ranked No. 1 in Lower Peninsula Division 2 by the state coaches association, expected to win its first MHSAA Finals championship in this sport.
Making good on those expectations can be a much taller task. But the Rangers showed they were more than up for the challenge Oct. 16-17 at Michigan State's Forest Akers West.
The Jet's Pizza "Team of the Month" for October carded a two-day, 36-hole score of 642, clearing the rest of the field by 45 strokes. That score ranked as the second lowest in MHSAA history at an LPD2 Final, and its 319 on Saturday tied for fourth lowest in LPD2 Finals history for a single round.
Junior Alivia Offer was the individual medalist with 149 strokes, six better than the next closest competitor. Freshman Abigail Offer placed seventh, junior Camille Tierney tied for ninth, senior Caroline Vandervelde tied for 13th and junior Gienna Rinckey tied for 23rd.

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.
