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: Lawton's Mason Mayne
April 25, 2024
Mason Mayne ♦ Lawton
Junior ♦ Track & Field
The 6-foot-3, 275-pound two-way lineman is a sizable presence on the football field building toward a possible a big-time future in that sport – and he also dominates in the throws pit during track & field season. He’s undefeated in the shot put and discus this spring and won both at last Friday’s Comstock Invitational, tossing the shot 54 feet, 11 inches, and the discus 171-9.
Mayne finished second in shot put and third in discus at the Lower Peninsula Division 3 Finals last spring, and his top throws this season – 60-3 in shot and 175-4 in discus – are the farthest in the state, regardless of division. He also carries a grade-point average above 4.00 and has received several Division I football scholarship offers including opportunities to play for multiple Ivy League schools and U.S military academies.
