Special Year Thanks to No Specialization
August 7, 2015

As we embark on another sports-filled school year Monday, we can look to a recent Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central grad for the value of a school year filled with sports.
As specialization at the highs school level continues to be debated, Bryce Windham will start his college baseball career this fall at Division I Old Dominion University – after playing baseball but also football and basketball for the Falcons.
The MHSAA has long advocated athletes taking on as many sports as they have interest instead of focusing on just one in pursuit of a college scholarship – a position that’s received plenty of public backing of late, be it from stars of the U.S. women’s soccer team after their World Cup championship run or former Lansing Waverly multi-sport athlete John Smoltz during his enshrinement in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
Enter Windham – who easily could’ve been excused for focusing on baseball, or even basketball as his dad is the St. Mary’s varsity boys coach. Instead, Bryce quarterbacked the football team to last season’s Division 6 championship – breaking Ithaca’s national-best 69-game winning streak in the Final – before being named Class C Player of the Year by The Associated Press in basketball and earning a Most Valuable Player honor at the baseball state coaches association all-star game at Comerica Park this spring.
All three of Windham's teams reached at least the MHSAA Quarterfinals.
“His participation in football and basketball helped land a Division 1 baseball scholarship to Old Dominion. They were able to see his athleticism in basketball and toughness in football, and ODU’s coach loved it,” dad and hoops coach Randy Windham said.
“He probably would’ve given up football, and that ended up his greatest memory by winning a state championship.”

Honors Abound
National coaching honors were bestowed on a trio of Michigan coaches over the summer:
- Retired Trenton ice hockey coach Mike Turner – the winningest hockey coach in MHSAA history with a record of 629-126-52 from 1974-81 and then 1995-2014 – was named National Coach of the Year in Special Sports by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association. His teams won 11 MHSAA titles and finished runner-up four times. “I was there when the MHSAA added hockey as one of their sanctioned sports and crowned their first MHSAA state championships in 1975. At that time there were 60-70 high school teams participating, and now there are 170,” Turner said. “It has been great to be a part of the advancements made in the sport of high school hockey, with more teams participating, more player development, and more opportunities that exist for players after high school.”
- Traverse City Central boys track and field and cross country coach John Lober won his second national coaching honor of the 2014-15 school year, named the NHSACA Coach of the Year for track and field to go with a previous honor earned in January from the National Federation of State High School Associations. He has coached the Traverse City Central boys track and field team since 1977 and also the boys cross country team since 1989. His 1992 track team won the Class A championship, and he has coached 17 individual MHSAA Finals champions. He was inducted into the Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2006.
- Ann Arbor Pioneer assistant girls swimming and diving coach Liz Hill was named the Assistant Coach of the Year for all girls sports by the NHSACA. Hill, a former All-American at the University of Michigan and standout sprinter at Pioneer, began assisting her husband Denny Hill in 1983 before becoming his fulltime assistant a few seasons later. Together they’ve led the Pioneers girls to 15 MHSAA team titles, the last two as co-head coaches.
Michigan Mourns
Fremont and the high school athletic community statewide mourned the death July 21 of longtime coach Rich Tompkins, who led Fremont’s boys cross country teams to six MHSAA cross country championships including three and a runner-up finish during his last decade of coaching before retiring in 1997.
The Muskegon Chronicle reported that his boys and girls cross country teams and boys track and field team combined for 45 league championships, with his boys cross country team winning 116 straight duals from 1977-88. Tompkins was executive director of the Michigan High School Coaches Association for more than a decade and served on its board for more than two decades.

Officials in the News
The Monroe County Officials Association took to the county fair to encourage passers-by to “Be the Referee” – and received 47 sign-ups from people interested in the avocation. Visitors to an MCOA booth at the fair were told in some detail what is involved with being an MHSAA official, and those who then signed up to find out more about officiating football, basketball, baseball or softball (sports the MCOA trains for and schedules) will be invited to an orientation session where they will become eligible for one of 20 complimentary registration fees for this school year.
The West Michigan Officials Association marked a decade of support at the start of this summer for the Visually Impaired Sports and Activity Day, sponsored by the Helen DeVos Children’s Foundation. The WMOA has contributed nearly $18,000 to the event over the last 10 years as well as taking part in the event, which includes a number of sports and other activities.
The Saginaw Athletic Officials Association sent along this photo of five members who worked 2013-14 MHSAA Finals, from left: Mark Jarlock (baseball), Tom Behmlander (softball), Scott Helmka (football), Dale Brown (softball and football) and Mark Schoenow (football). The Baseball Final was Jarlock’s first; the other officials had worked Finals in the past.

Below is a glance at all 16 teams taking the field (with statistics through Regional Finals):
Division 1
GRAND HAVEN
Record/rank: 33-7-1, No. 6
Coach: John Hall, 10th season (222-125-3)
League finish: Tied for second in Ottawa-Kent Conference Red
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Bella Korf, sr. C/IF (.444, 50 R, 16 2B, 10 HR, 41 RBI); Lorelei Chciuk, sr. P/IF (.371, 35 RBI, 18-5 pitching, 0.93 ERA, 340 K/157 1/3 IP); Bri Borgman, sr. IF/P (.487, 40 R, 14 2B, 8 HR, 39 RBI, 14-2 pitching, 2.23 ERA, 136 K/88 IP); MaKenna VandenBrink, jr. OF (.400, 36 R, 20 SB).
Outlook: A group of eight seniors – including seven who start – have brought Grand Haven to the Semifinals for the first time, and memorably with wins over top-ranked Hudsonville in the Regional Final (after the Eagles won two of their three games during the regular season) and No. 5 Traverse City Central in the Quarterfinal. A Regional Semifinal win over Rockford also avenged a late loss. Chciuk and Borgman made the all-state first team last season and are catalysts to the effort, but several more are making big contributions including sophomore Ryley Jeltema (.360) and senior Natalie Waite (.293, 32 R, 16 SB).
MACOMB DAKOTA
Record/rank: 31-12, unranked
Coach: Shelby Weeks, third season (83-32)
League finish: Second in Macomb Area Conference Red
Championship history: Division 1 champion 2017, runner-up 2016 and 2022.
Players to watch: Nadeline Tcruz, fr. OF (.416, 64 R, 14 2B, 35 SB); Maddie Kruk, jr. OF (.423, 44 R, 14 2B, 35 RBI): Kiley Phelan, sr. IF (.524, 38 RBI); Nola Mae Tcruz, jr. IF (.423, 34 R, 30 RBI, 21 SB).
Outlook: Dakota finished second in the MAC Red to No. 2 New Baltimore Anchor Bay but defeated the Tars in their District Final and continued on to their first Semifinals since that 2022 runner-up season. Phelan made the all-state first team last spring and tops a team list that has 10 hitters batting .333 or better. Brooke Cahill (10-5, 2.56 ERA) and Alivia Reardon (13-3, 3.12) have shared the majority of pitching duties, and senior Chloe Dunn (.395, 43 RBI) and freshman Ella Goike (.383, 40 R, 43 RBI, 36 SB) are also among the biggest contributors offensively.
NORTHVILLE
Record/rank: 35-4-1, No. 4

League finish: First in Kensington Lakes Activities Association West
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.

Outlook: Northville’s first Regional title since 2012 has turned into its first trip to the Semifinals, as the Mustangs got past No. 9 Salem in their District Semifinal and Saline in their Regional championship game while allowing a total of four runs over five postseason contests. The Salem and Saline wins avenged regular-season losses, and the other two came against No. 2 Anchor Bay and No. 8 Grand Blanc with the tie against No. 6 Grand Haven. A total of 10 hitters are batting .300 or higher, with senior Alyssa Spencer (.353), freshman Mia Petrovski (.343) and junior Olivia Smith (.329) next highest on the list.
WALLED LAKE NORTHERN
Record/rank: 37-3, No. 7
Coach: Kristen Woodard, 15th season (376-150-4)
League finish: First in Lakes Valley Conference
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Makenna Kresbaugh, jr. CF (.433, 49 R, 65 RBI); Lyla Turmell, sr. P (.561, 54 R, 11 HR, 52 RBI, 26-2 pitching, 0.95 ERA, 228 K/155 1/3 IP); Shaela Byrnes, jr. 2B (.477, 35 R, 34 RBI); Aubrey Kresbaugh, soph. SS (.436, 49 R).
Outlook: Northern has seemed on the cusp of making this first trip to the Semifinals, winning Regional titles as well last spring, in 2022 and 2017. Turmell made the all-state first team last season, and Makenna Kresbaugh and Byrnes earned honorable mentions. They with junior catcher Anna Doyle (.327, 33 R) give the team a talented group up the middle. Junior Olivia Frellick (.324, 34 RBI) and freshman Alex Dziak (.329) also bolster the lineup. Northern’s postseason run has included a pair of wins over honorable mentions Livonia Stevenson and league rival White Lake Lakeland.
Division 2
ARMADA
Record/rank: 35-8, honorable mention
Coach: Rob Girvin, fourth season (97-54)
League finish: First in Blue Water Area Conference

Players to watch: Helena Fettue, jr. SS (.427, 37 R, 19 SB); Grace Girvin, soph. 1B/P/C (.384, 50 R, 34 RBI, 19 SB, 10-2 pitching, 2.08 ERA); Lilyana Piconke, soph. OF (.447, 59 R, 56 RBI, 31 SB); Megan Cox, fr. P/1B (.362, 31 RBI, 15-2 pitching, 1.60 ERA, 174 K/109 1/3 IP).
Outlook: Armada is making its first trip back to the Semifinals since 2010 after opening the tournament with a win over league rival and reigning champ Richmond, adding victories over honorable mentions St. Clair and Orchard Lake St. Mary’s along the way, and then also downing No. 6 Frankenmuth in their Quarterfinal. Cox, Grace Girvin and Taylor Capozzo (9-4, 3.25 ERA) have split starts in the circle, and Capozzo also bats fourth and entered the week hitting .377 with 36 runs scored and 56 driven in. Sophomore Justine Lint (.336, 31 RBI) also has been a top run producer.
FARMINGTON HILLS MERCY
Record/rank: 20-17, unranked
Co-coaches: Alec Lesko & Sara McGavin, fifth seasons (146-39)
League finish: Fifth in Catholic High School League Central
Championship history: Division 1 champion 2016, runner-up 2002.
Players to watch: Taylor Selimi, jr. 3B (.404, 36 R, 35 RBI); Sophia Chaput, sr. CF (.509, 48 R, 31 SB); Maeve Weiss, fr. C (.323, 30 RBI); Anna McGavin, jr. P/OF (.286, 30 R, 17-10 pitching, 2.53 ERA, 277 K/170 1/3 IP).
Outlook: After eight seasons away, Lesko and McGavin returned to lead the program again this school year have brought Mercy to the Division 2 Semifinals after years playing among the elite in Division 1. The Marlins made the Division 1 Semifinals most recently in 2024 and 2021, and advanced to this weekend with a Quarterfinal win over No. 5 Carleton Airport, and have made this surge with only two senior starters but seven underclassmen on the roster.
OGEMAW HEIGHTS
Record/rank: 28-9, unranked
Coach: Ryan Nicholson, first season (28-9)
League finish: Second in Jack Pine Conference
Championship history: Class B runner-up 1982.
Players to watch: Kylee England, soph. P (.481, 16 2B, 38 RBI, 18-8 pitching); Aubrey Evans, jr. SS (.500, 54 R, 14 HR, 72 RBI); Averie Weiler, soph. 2B (.422, 39 R, 30 RBI); Addison Wenkel, fr. CF (.453, 62 R, 44 SB).
Outlook: Nicholson took over the program this year after five as an assistant coach and has brought Ogemaw Heights to the Semifinals for the first time since 1982 (and with its first Regional title since 1994). The Falcons have scored double-digit runs in 18 games, and all nine starters were hitting at least .328 entering the week. Sophomore Mackenzie Benjamin (.387, 44 R, 40 RBI) and junior Laila Ireland (.383) are two more big bats on the 11-player roster that has only two seniors.
STEVENSVILLE LAKESHORE
Record/rank: 34-4, No. 1
Coach: Denny Dock, 37th season (1,171-268-2)
League finish: First in Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference
Championship history: Eight MHSAA titles (most recent 2022), two runner-up finishes.
Players to watch: Lily Dustin, sr. 1B/P (.566, 28 2B, 58 RBI, 13-1 pitching, 2.32 ERA); Shaunna Roberts, fr. 3B (.504, 17 2B, 45 RBI); Adelle Prosser, fr. C (.468, 15 2B, 44 RBI); Ashley Ramirez, jr. P (17-3, 1.68 ERA, 191 K/125 IP, .324).
Outlook: The winningest coach in MHSAA softball history (at 1,359-361-2 and counting over a total of 47 seasons) is bringing his top-ranked team back to MSU for the first time since the 2022 championship season – and Lakeshore might be making a few more trips over the next few years. The Lancers start their lone senior, Dustin, and she bats fourth, but the three hitters in front of her are all freshmen and part of a group of five total on the roster. Sophomore Payten Strefling (.430, 45 RBI), freshman Madi Ettinger (.417) and junior Belle Forrester (.404) also are among the top hitters for a lineup that carries a .408 average.
Division 3
EVART
Record/rank: 42-0, No. 1
Coach: Shaun Gray, third season (109-9)
League finish: First in Highland Conference
Championship history: Division 3 champion 2024, runner-up 2022.
Players to watch: Kyrah Gray, sr. P (.600, 83 R, 26 2B, 14 HR, 53 RBI, 29-0 pitching, 0.84 ERA, 345 K/175 1/3 IP); Mattisen Tiedt, sr. 1B (.616, 60 R, 20 2B, 12 HR, 78 RBI, 7-0 pitching, 1.91 ERA); Keira Elder, sr. C (.417, 50 R, 41 RBI); Jillian Decker, sr. SS (.463, 48 R, 18 2B, 42 RBI).
Outlook: After falling in its District opener last year to eventual Division 3 runner-up Clare, Evart has not lost again – while playing a schedule that’s included a nice collection of ranked and larger opponents. The Wildcats have won 18 games by shutout, with Kyrah Gray a returning all-state first teamer writing her name all over the record book again offensively and in the circle. Tiedt also made the all-state first team last season and is posting huge numbers, and sophomore Quyncee Gray (.471, 46 R, 36 RBI) is adding plenty of pop to the middle of the lineup.
GRASS LAKE
Record/rank: 35-5, No. 4
Coach: Roger Cook, 25th season (625-225)
League finish: Second in Cascades Conference
Championship history: Division 3 champion 2025.
Players to watch: Morgan Conrad, sr. P/1B (.378, 24-1 pitching, 2.04 ERA, 144 K/127 IP); Leilah Smith, sr. 2B (.395, 38 R, 48 RBI); Makenzie Hilberer, jr. SS (.480, 53 R, 50 RBI, 16 SB); Lily McVicker, fr. CF (.509, 64 R, 24 SB).
Outlook: Grass Lake is returning to MSU with five starters from last season’s championship game win, including all-state first-teamers Conrad, Smith and Hilberer. The Warriors finished second in the Cascades to No. 2 Brooklyn Columbia Central but then defeated the Golden Eagles in a District Semifinal, and Grass Lake also downed No. 6 Clinton in its Regional Final and honorable mention Ottawa Lake Whiteford on Tuesday. Sophomore third baseman Kennedy Collins (.446, 39 R, 45 RBI) and senior left fielder Addalynn Hensen (.395, 38 R) also started a year ago and rank among the team’s top hitters.
NEW LOTHROP
Record/rank: 33-10, unranked
Coach: Chad Henige, first season (33-10)
League finish: First in Mid-Michigan Activities Conference
Championship history: Class C champion 1982, runner-up 1978.
Players to watch: Mallory Heroux, sr. P (.477, 19 2B, 52 RBI, 27-4 pitching, 0.62 ERA, 308 K/170 1/3 IP); Savannah Knieper, soph. 2B (.403, 34 R, 41 RBI); Leigha Eagan, fr. 3B (.368, 38 R); Alexandra Knieper, sr. C/3B (.427).
Outlook: New Lothrop is making its first Semifinal appearance since its championship season after avenging last year’s Regional loss with a 3-2, 10-inning Quarterfinal victory over honorable mention Millington. Heroux earned an all-state honorable mention last spring and tops a team hitting leaderboard that also includes freshmen Sydney Knieper (.358, 54 R, 49 SB) and Raegan Heroux (.357, 31 RBI) among main run producers. Henige took over the program after previously serving as junior high coach and then varsity assistant over the last nine seasons.
RAVENNA
Record/rank: 38-1, No. 3
Coach: Dave Sherman, 10th season (246-83)
League finish: First in West Michigan Conference Rivers
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Riley Homoly, sr. 2B (.417, 51 R, 47 RBI, 21 SB); Emily Postema, sr. C (.588, 70 R, 14 3B, 71 RBI, 43 SB); Natalie Rosel, jr. P (.555, 75 R, 53 RBI, 43 SB, 24-0 pitching, 0.60 ERA, 240 K/129 1/3 IP); Reese Herremans, jr. SS (.454, 66 R, 20 2B, 56 RBI, 20 SB).
Outlook: Ravenna is continuing to move closer to a possible first championship, with this repeat trip to MSU the team’s third in four seasons and following up last year’s one-run loss in the Semifinals. A 6-0 win over No. 5 Morley Stanwood in the Regional Final was a defining moment and avenged the team’s only defeat this spring. The Bulldogs opened the postseason with four straight shutouts, and Rosel earned an all-state honorable mention last season as did Postema and Homoly. Junior third baseman Sydney Morrissey (.438, 40 R, 39 RBI) also is among dangerous bats for a team that’s averaging 12 runs per game.
Division 4
BROWN CITY
Record/rank: 25-11, No. 9
Coach: Scott Parr, fifth season (88-81)
League finish: First in Big Thumb Conference Black
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Sydnee Mabee, jr. SS (.441, 51 R, 28 SB); Maddie Hohne, sr. P (.467, 36 R, 30 RBI, 17-7 pitching, 3.38 ERA, 199 K/145. IP); Sami Hayes, soph. UTY/P (.409, 30 R, 7-3 pitching); Chloe Hayes, sr. CF (.393, 41 R).
Outlook: Brown City has been building to this first trip to the Semifinals, with four straight District and three consecutive league championships under Parr and now a first Regional title and Quarterfinal victory. The stunner came in the Regional Semifinal as the Green Hornets guaranteed an end to No. 3 Unionville-Sebewaing’s six-season streak of making Division 3 Finals with a 10-8 win. Senior Linzee Mathews (.393, 31 R), junior Alaina Roberts (.376, 36 R and 38 RBI) and senior Callie Morse (.349) also bolster the lineup.
FOWLER
Record/rank: 28-8, No. 8
Coach: Brian Miller, first season (28-8)
League finish: First in Central Michigan Athletic Conference
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Saige Miller, sr. SS (.594, 70 R, 10 HR, 48 RBI, 23 SB); Selena Stump, sr. P/OF (.492, 48 R, 37 RBI, 20 SB, 17-4 pitching, 3.51 ERA, 107 K/123 1/3 IP); Kerigan Pung, jr. C (.461, 32 R, 30 RBI); Addison Spicer, sr. 3B (.504, 37 R, 17 2B, 57 RBI).
Outlook: The Eagles are back at the Semifinals for the first time since 2014, building on a postseason run that’s included wins over No. 5 Bellaire, No. 6 St. Louis and No. 7 Beal City. Maryland recruit Miller is capping an all-state career; she made the first team last season, while Stump earned an honorable mention. Senior Rachel Wirth (.456, 44 R) and freshman Bristol Miller (,423, 43 R, 36 RBI) also bolster an offense averaging nearly 11 runs per game. Brian Miller took over the program after previously serving as an assistant at Fowler and Pewamo-Westphalia.
HILLMAN
Record/rank: 33-9, No. 2
Coach: Jason Weiland, third season (105-21)
League finish: First in North Star League Little Dipper
Championship history: Class D runner-up 1996.
Players to watch: Aubrey Weiland, jr. SS (.411, 60 R, 33 RBI); Gretchen Weiland, sr. P (.560, 58 R, 56 RBI, 19-5 pitching, 2.15 ERA, 214 K/107 2/3 IP); Abigail Oswald, fr. P/2B (.431, 59 R, 34 RBI, 21 SB, 9-4 pitching); Madelyn Oswald, jr. C (.567, 59 R, 20 2B, 65 RBI, 27 SB).
Outlook: Six starters including ace pitcher Gretchen Weiland are back from last season’s Semifinal lineup, and she made the all-state first team last year while Aubrey Weiland earned an honorable mention. Juniors Rylee Lis (.384, 43 R, 43 RBI) and Brook Linseman (.387) and sophomore Peyton Szlag also started last season, and Gretchen Weiland and Peyton Banks are the only seniors on this roster. The Tigers won a District two weeks ago that also included No. 10 (tie) Johannesburg-Lewiston and honorable mention Rogers City.
MENDON
Record/rank: 30-3, No. 1
Co-coaches: Steve Butler & Mike Smith, ninth seasons
League finish: First in Southern Central Athletic Association
Championship history: Division 4 championship 2025, runner-up 2023, Class D runner-up 1992.
Players to watch: Cienna Nightingale, sr. C/1B (.622, 68 RBI, 22 SB); Jadyn Samson, sr. SS/P (.640, 77 R, 18 2B, 30 RBI, 33 SB, 8-2 pitching); Rowan Allen, sr. P/SS (.638, 63 R, 42 SB, 18-1 pitching, 2.47 ERA, 161 K/96 IP); Taya Bingaman, sr. CF (.641, 58 R, 18 2B, 60 RBI, 29 SB).
Outlook: Mendon returns just four players from last season’s championship game lineup – but all four are hitting over .600 and the group includes top pitcher Allen, who gave up a combined two earned runs during last season’s Semifinal and Final. Samson, Nightingale and Allen all made the all-state first team last season as well. Freshman Sabrina Monroy (.383, 30 R, 30 RBI) is another major contributor on the offensive side. The losses came twice to Division 3 Bronson and once to Division 2 Three Rivers, and this tournament run has included a Regional Final win over No. 10 (tie) Gobles.
