Performance of the Week: Troy's Olivia Jasniewicz
April 11, 2025
Olivia Jasniewicz ♦ Troy
Junior ♦ Soccer
Jasniewicz scored the go-ahead goal as Troy defeated reigning Division 1 champion Rochester Adams 2-1 on April 3, not only giving the Colts an early advantage in the Oakland Activities Association Red race, but also avenging Troy's overtime loss to Adams in last season's Regional Final. Jasniewicz sent home an Ava Fleming pass with 16:27 to play to put their team ahead for good.
A forward and midfielder, Jasniewicz made the Division 1 all-state first team last season as Troy finished 14-2-3 and won the OAA Red title. The Colts are 4-0-1 this season and No. 3 in Division 1 in this week's first rankings of the season, just ahead of Adams at No. 4. Jasniewicz moved to Troy from Canada a few years ago and played volleyball and basketball for Troy earlier this school year after growing up also competing in cross country, swimming and track.

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.
