Performance of the Week: Cadillac's Onalee Wallis
February 8, 2024
Onalee Wallis ♦ Cadillac
Senior ♦ Skiing
Warm weather has made this season trickier than most lately, but Michigan high schools are skiing – and Wallis is again among the state’s elite as she enters the final month of her Cadillac career. On her team’s home hill at Caberfae Peaks, Wallis finished first in both the slalom (43.63) and giant slalom (41.58) at the Cadillac Invitational on Feb. 1, leading the Vikings to the team championship as well.
Wallis has helped Cadillac to outstanding Division 2 Finals finishes her first three seasons of high school; the Vikings won the championship in 2022 and finished third both last season and when she was a freshman. Her top individual finishes at Finals were second in the giant slalom as a freshman and fourth in slalom as a sophomore, and she was fifth in GS and 21st in slalom last season. She also played golf at Cadillac, finishing her career in the fall tying for 13th at her Regional and making the all-Big North Conference team, and plays soccer in the spring and earned an all-BNC honorable mention last season.

Performance of the Week: Ishpeming Westwood's Ethan Marta
December 18, 2025
Ethan Marta ♦ Ishpeming Westwood
Senior ♦ Basketball
The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 27 points per game as a junior in leading Ishpeming Westwood to the Division 3 Semifinals, and he scored 18 points with 13 rebounds and four assists as the Patriots came back last week from 17 points down to defeat Kingsford 59-54. The Flivvers also had reached Breslin last season, in Division 2.
Westwood sits 6-0 heading into Friday’s game against Negaunee, and finished 22-6 last winter – when the Patriots lost their early-season matchup with Kingsford, 57-50. Westwood’s trip to the Semifinals in March was its first since 2003. Marta also played football and will play baseball this spring, and has signed to play college basketball at Michigan Tech.
