Performance of the Week: South Lyon East's Mason Crosby
October 30, 2026
Mason Crosby ♦ South Lyon East
Senior ♦ Tennis
Crosby completed a perfect season last weekend 30-0, with his final four wins at the Lower Peninsula Division 2 Finals earning him the championship at No. 1 singles. Top-seeded in the bracket, he clinched with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Birmingham Seaholm’s second-seeded Carter Griffith.
This was Crosby’s third appearance in a championship match at the Finals; he finished No. 2 singles runner-up as a freshman and No. 1 singles runner-up as a junior. Crosby’s only losses those seasons came in those title-deciding matches, and his sophomore-year Finals ended with a first-round defeat against Griffith. Crosby finished with a four-year singles record of 123-5 – with those wins ranking 13th on the MHSAA career list – and claimed 19 victories this fall by 6-0, 6-0 scores. He also plays basketball for South Lyon East, and he’s hoping to continue his tennis career at the collegiate level. His brother Cameron plays at Kalamazoo College.

Performance of the Week: Fraser's Hunter Lemmon
February 14, 2025
Hunter Lemmon ♦ Fraser
Senior ♦ Swimming
Lemmon was named "Senior Swimmer of the Year" at last weekend's Macomb County Championships after setting meet records in winning the 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke. Lemmon's 50 time of 21.28 seconds also broke a Fraser school record set previously more than three decades ago, and his 50.63 was nearly six seconds faster than the field. Lemmon also swam the first leg of the winning 200 medley relay and anchored the third-place 400 freestyle relay.
Lemmon's 50 time also is tied for seventh-fastest top time swam in Michigan this high school season, and the backstroke time ranks fifth on that top times list. He'll be seeking his first Finals championship next month, and finished fourth in the backstroke and seventh in the 100 freestyle at last season's Lower Peninsula Division 2 meet. Lemmon finished his football career as Fraser's quarterback in the fall, and he's hoping to continue swimming at the college level. He intends to study sports management and eventually earn a law degree and become an agent.
