Returning members of the Council who will graduate next spring are Eliza Beird from Holland Black River; Grant Osborne, White Lake Lakeland; Amanda Paull, Cheboygan; Jonathan Perry, McBain Northern Michigan Christian; Emily Starck, Remus Chippewa Hills; Connor Thomas, Marlette; Caycee Turczyn, Lapeer West; and Aaron Van Horn, Kingston. 

They are joined by incoming juniors Tucker Gross of Beal City; Katie Hartzler, Bridgman; Benjamin Kowalske, Livonia Stevenson; Jared Pittman, Muskegon; Bekah Myler, Gaylord St. Mary; Jordan Michalak, Birmingham Seaholm; Trevor Trierweiler, Portland; and Greta Wilker, Belding. 

The Student Advisory Council provides feedback on issues impacting educational athletics from a student’s perspective and also is involved in the operation of Association championship events and other programming. 

Members of the Student Advisory Council serve for two years, beginning as juniors. Eight new members are selected annually to serve on the SAC, with nominations made by MHSAA member schools.

The 6-foot-5 guard became the first career 1,000-point scorer in Burton Bentley history during holiday break with a 25-point performance in his team’s 71-24 win over Burton Atherton on Dec. 27. Bentley is 6-4 and on a four-game winning streak heading into Friday’s game against Flint Hamady.

McFadden has been a high-volume scorer for Bentley for multiple seasons and was averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game heading into this week. He earned all-area honorable mention from the Flint Journal last season and is considering several opportunities to continue playing basketball at the collegiate level.
