Rockford High School’s “Beyond The Rock” and Plymouth-Canton Community Schools’ “88.1 The Park” were among those named the 2024 Student Stations of the Year by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters (MAB).
Students from those schools and collegiate winners Hillsdale College (“Radio Free Hillsdale”) and Michigan State University (“School of Journalism”) were rewarded with a trip to a Detroit Pistons game Thursday, and participated in a panel discussion with Pistons’ broadcasters Mark Champion, Greg Kelser, and Johnny Kane. The event was moderated by the President/CEO of the MAB, Sam Klemet.
Student journalists from Davison, Cedar Springs, Troy Athens, Montrose, Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central, East Kentwood, Bloomfield Hills, Warren Cousino and Dearborn Heights Star International also received awards in high school visual and audio categories.

Performance of the Week: Bath's Addilyn Duflo
October 23, 2026
Addilyn Duflo ♦ Bath
Sophomore ♦ Golf
After finishing runner-up as a freshman last fall, Duflo concluded her sophomore season as the medalist at last weekend’s Lower Peninsula Division 4 Final at The Meadows at Grand Valley State – and in doing so led Bath to its first Finals team championship in the sport.
Duflo – who also plays basketball – carded a two-day 152, taking a nine-stroke lead during Friday’s first round with a 73. She followed with a 79 on Saturday and was the only competitor to break 80 during the tournament. Bath, in only its sixth season as a program, cleared the field by 14 strokes to win the team trophy.
