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.

Performance of the Week: Fraser's Hunter Lemmon
February 14, 2025
Hunter Lemmon ♦ Fraser
Senior ♦ Swimming
Lemmon was named "Senior Swimmer of the Year" at last weekend's Macomb County Championships after setting meet records in winning the 50-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke. Lemmon's 50 time of 21.28 seconds also broke a Fraser school record set previously more than three decades ago, and his 50.63 was nearly six seconds faster than the field. Lemmon also swam the first leg of the winning 200 medley relay and anchored the third-place 400 freestyle relay.
Lemmon's 50 time also is tied for seventh-fastest top time swam in Michigan this high school season, and the backstroke time ranks fifth on that top times list. He'll be seeking his first Finals championship next month, and finished fourth in the backstroke and seventh in the 100 freestyle at last season's Lower Peninsula Division 2 meet. Lemmon finished his football career as Fraser's quarterback in the fall, and he's hoping to continue swimming at the college level. He intends to study sports management and eventually earn a law degree and become an agent.
