Performance of the Week: Muskegon Reeths-Puffer's Sophia McCollum
October 2, 2026
Sophia McCollum ♦ Muskegon Reeths-Puffer
Senior ♦ Golf
McCollum, the reigning Lower Peninsula Division 2 individual champion, won the Greater Muskegon Athletic Association individual title Sept. 22 for the third-straight season. She carded a 77 to also lead Reeths-Puffer to the team victory as the Rockets scored a 354 to outpace runner-up Montague by six strokes.
After tying for 17th as a sophomore, McCollum won last year’s LPD2 Final by four strokes and is gearing up for her team’s Regional on Tuesday at Lincoln Golf Club in Muskegon. She will be continuing her golf career at the college level but has not publicly announced where at this time; she is interested in studying nursing or education at that next destination. She’ll also be returning to the track for the Rockets next spring after taking last season off but running primarily middle distance as a freshman and sophomore.

Performance of the Week: Zeeland West's Keaton Hendricks
December 4, 2024
Keaton Hendricks ♦ Zeeland West
Senior ♦ Football
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.
