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.

Battle of the Fans: Vote Now

February 20, 2012

The time has come to decide the winner of the inaugural MHSAA Battle of the Fans contest.

And we've put the decision, in part, in your hands.

Vote today through Thursday on your favorite of five finalists -- Petoskey, Rockford, Reese, Grand Rapids Christian and Frankenmuth -- by clicking the poll link on the right side of this screen.

But before you do, be sure to brush up on each by clicking on the stories behind all five sections and watching our MHSAA-produced videos of those student cheerers in action, shot over the last five weeks during the MHSAA tour of finalists' schools.

The contest is sponsored by the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, and the winner will be decided by a combination of SAC and public vote. You must be a member of Facebook and "like" the MHSAA page to take part.

The champion will be announced Friday on Second Half. Video of all five finalists will be compiled and shown on the main scoreboard during the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals in March at Michigan State's Breslin Student Events Center.

And now, the finalists, in alphabetical order:
