Bracketology MHSAA style
November 1, 2011
Be sure to check out our tournament brackets for football, soccer and volleyball that we've been updating throughout those MHSAA tournaments.
They're an easy way to keep up with who a team has faced, will play next and when, and also where it might be heading for the next round.
And anyone can register to give us a hand and update game-by-game results for soccer and volleyball events. Better yet, registering to update scores allows you to do so for any team for an entire season -- which not only will update that team's overall record in the bracket, but give us all a better idea what it has accomplished this fall.
Click here to see every event being played any day, and click "Submit Score" next to an event to update it or "Dispute Score" if we have an incorrect result.
Visit our soccer page to view interactive brackets for every tournament level.
Go to our volleyball page to view the same for this sport.

Performance of the Week: Plainwell's Riley Nugent
November 26, 2021
Riley Nugent ♦ Senior
Plainwell ♦ Swimming
Most seasons, a freshman or few leave their first MHSAA Girls Swimming & Diving Finals as champions. Repeat individual title winners are a frequent occurrence. But what Nugent accomplished last weekend at Calvin University – finishing a career-long domination of an event – is much more rare.
Nugent on Saturday won the 500-yard freestyle for the fourth time at the Lower Peninsula Division 3 Finals – this time in 5:04.35, clearing the field by 2.51 seconds. She also won the 200 freestyle in 1:52.83, by just over eight tenths of a second, and swam on the 12th-place 200 freestyle and 13th-place 400 freestyle relays. Plainwell as a team finished ninth.
Nugent will continue her academic and swimming careers next season at James Madison University in Virginia.
