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.

SAC Sound-off: Meet Owosso's Matt Freeman

April 11, 2012

Matt Freeman is a big part of the Owosso football program -- he's 6-foot-2 and 270 pounds and made his all-league team last season -- and will continue to be a big part of the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council as a senior next fall.  He's one of eight juniors on the council; members are selected at the end of their sophomores years and serve two-year terms.

Matt Freeman, Owosso junior

  • Sports: Football, basketball, golf
  • Non-sports activities: Hunting, farming, drummer, theater
  • Favorite class: Weight lifting
  • Must-see TV: ESPN SportCenter
  • One shining moment: Coming back from 15 down to beat Corunna in basketball this season.
  • What’s next: Hopefully, college football. If not, then a small college, and coming home on weekends. Working with my hands – nothing behind a desk.
  • My favorite part of game day is: ... at school, knowing most of the people you see never get the opportunity to be on a team, and knowing you are lucky to be on the team you are on.
