Ram Country, Here We Come

February 3, 2012

Rockford is next up on our "Battle of the Fans" tour, and we'll be making our stop for tonight's boys basketball game against Hudsonville.

So far, all good. We're having a blast. We've been to two Class B and one Class C school, and all three have brought a ton of what we're looking for in a "Battle of the Fans" champion. Rockford is one of our largest Class A schools -- so we're expecting more big things, especially amid the Twitter buzz we've been following this week.

MHSAA staff and Student Advisory Council members already have visited Frankenmuth, Grand Rapids Christian and Reese, and will finish up Feb. 17 at Petoskey. Voting on our Facebook page runs Feb. 20-23, with the winner selected Feb. 24.

Today in the MHSAA: 9/8/25
