SAC Sound-off: Meet Evan Lamb
March 29, 2012
This week we introduce Rogers City junior Evan Lamb. He’s coming off an excellent winter that included helping his team to the Division 4 Team Wrestling Quarterfinals and then finishing fourth at 130 pounds at the Division 4 Individual Finals with a final record of 54-8. He has a career record of 154-25 after three seasons.
Evan Lamb, Rogers City junior
- Sports: Football, wrestling, baseball
- Non-sports activitiy: Youth wrestling coach
- Favorite class: Chemistry
- Must-see TV: "Family Guy”
- One shining moment: Placing sixth at the Individual Finals in wrestling as a freshman in a relatively senior-dominated bracket (125 pounds).
- What’s next: I’ll more than likely attend Alpena Community College, then move on to a university to pursue a degree in physical therapy. And if an opportunity comes, I’ll play sports.
- My favorite part of game day is: ... wearing our game jerseys to school and receiving the 'good lucks' throughout the day.

Performance of the Week: Otsego's Liam Smith
March 19, 2026
Liam Smith ♦ Otsego
Senior ♦ Swimming
Smith capped his high school career Saturday with his fourth Lower Peninsula Division 3 Finals championship in the 100-yard butterfly and third in the 200-yard individual medley. He also set the meet record in the IM in the prelim and then again in the championship race at 1:47.38 – which also ranks among the top times in the race in Finals history, all divisions.
Smith’s winning time of 47.80 in the butterfly was the second-fasted in LPD3 Finals history, and he also swam on the eighth-place 400 relay and 10th-place 200 medley relay as Otsego finished ninth as a team. He also led the Bulldogs to a seventh place and two 11th-place team finishes during his career. He will continue next season at University of Florida, which is ranked No. 4 in Division I with the NCAA Championships at the end of this month.
