Girls Golf
Aya on Fiya: The Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association named Muskegon Catholic Central senior Aya Johnson this season's Miss Golf. Johnson, who will play next season at the University of Wisconsin, defeated Lansing Catholic's Jacqueline Setas in a tie-breaker to claim the Lower Peninsula Division 4 championship at Michigan State's Forest Akers West.

Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Underfueling
October 28, 2025
Athletes push their bodies to perform at high levels — and that requires consistent, adequate fueling.
Without enough calories to support training, recovery, daily life, and growth, performance and overall health can suffer.
In fact, underfueling — whether intentional or unintentional — can lead to a serious condition called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), which affects both male and female athletes.
Don’t let low energy hold you back! Fuel your body, protect your health, and train strong.
