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.

Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Building a Performance Plate
August 5, 2025
Proper nutrition is key to athletic performance, and it all starts with how you build your plate.
Athletes need at least three balanced meals a day, plus snacks, to fuel training, competition, and recovery.
But knowing what — and how much — to eat can be confusing.
That’s why we’re breaking down the “Performance Plate” model to help guide your choices.
Whether it’s a rest day, intense practice, or game day, this simple visual approach ensures you’re getting the right mix of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and colorful fruits and vegetables at every meal.
