Jenna Middleton ♦ Kingsley
Senior ♦ Volleyball

Kingsley’s record-setting outside hitter became the 35th player in MHSAA girls volleyball history to reach 2,000 kills during the rally scoring era, doing so during her team’s win over Negaunee on Sept 12, and then set the school record for kills three days later during a win over Grayling. She’s up to 2,057 career kills after adding 23 more to her total Tuesday against Harbor Springs. 

The returning all-stater also was her team’s leading hitter as the Stags won last season’s Division 3 championship, and she’s helped Kingsley to a 27-3-1 record and No. 5 ranking this week in Division 2. She does not intend to continue playing volleyball after high school, but plans to attend Northern Michigan University and study English and potentially creative writing or journalism.

SAC Sound-off: Meet Evan Lamb

March 29, 2012

This week we introduce Rogers City junior Evan Lamb. He’s coming off an excellent winter that included helping his team to the Division 4 Team Wrestling Quarterfinals and then finishing fourth at 130 pounds at the Division 4 Individual Finals with a final record of 54-8. He has a career record of 154-25 after three seasons.

Evan Lamb, Rogers City junior

  • Sports: Football, wrestling, baseball
  • Non-sports activitiy: Youth wrestling coach
  • Favorite class: Chemistry
  • Must-see TV: "Family Guy”
  • One shining moment: Placing sixth at the Individual Finals in wrestling as a freshman in a relatively senior-dominated bracket (125 pounds).
  • What’s next: I’ll more than likely attend Alpena Community College, then move on to a university to pursue a degree in physical therapy. And if an opportunity comes, I’ll play sports.
  • My favorite part of game day is: ... wearing our game jerseys to school and receiving the 'good lucks' throughout the day.
