Performance of the Week: Onaway's Jadin Mix
February 16, 2024
Jadin Mix ♦ Onaway
Senior ♦ Basketball
Mix packed a pair of career highlights into one unforgettable game Feb. 7 against Gaylord St. Mary. Mix went over 1,000 career points and also set the MHSAA career steals record in his team's 75-38 win over the Snowbirds. He's one of seven Onaway boys basketball players who have reached 1,000 points, a list that includes his older brother Jager Mix as well.
Already listed in the MHSAA record book for snagging 124 steals (tied for 11th-most for one season) as a sophomore in 2021-22, Mix also surpassed the MHSAA-record 450 career steals totaled by St. Ignace's Gage Kreski from 2013-16. Mix joined the varsity during the 2021 postseason and has helped the team to a combined 58-10 record and a pair of Ski Valley Conference championships over the last three seasons, including an outright SVC title two years ago. Onaway this winter is 15-4 overall and third in the Ski Valley, with a slim chance at still earning a title share. Mix also runs cross country, plays baseball and competes in track & field, and played football his first three years of high school.

Performance of the Week: Grayling's Jordan Peters
September 12, 2024
Jordan Peters ♦ Grayling
Junior ♦ Soccer
Peters is anchoring a record-setting defensive effort as Grayling is off to an 8-0 start for the first time and has put together a streak of eight straight shutouts also for the first time in program history. The most recent win, 1-0 over Elk Rapids on Monday, was the Vikings’ first over the Elks since 2009. Grayling is unranked, but Elk Rapids entered this week No. 14 in Division 3.
A varsity keeper since freshman year, Peters has played a major role as Grayling has improved from 9-12-1 in 2022 to 17-6-1 last season to building high expectations with its start this fall. Peters has been in net for the entirety of every game this year, and the eight straight shutouts are tied for the 14th-longest individual scoreless game streak by a keeper in state history. Peters also wrestles and made his Division 3 Individual District Semifinals at 157 pounds last season, and he ran primarily hurdles and on the 400 relay for the track & field team last spring.
