Performance of the Week: Farmington Hills Mercy's Campbell Flynn
September 27, 2024
Campbell Flynn ♦ Farmington Hills Mercy
Senior ♦ Volleyball
The 6-foot-3 setter had 28 assists and five kills as top-ranked Farmington Hills Mercy swept rival and No. 4-ranked Bloomfield Hills Marian 25-15, 25-15, 25-21. Mercy is the reigning Division 1 champion – having ended Marian’s three-year hold on the title last fall – and Flynn is considered among the top seniors nationally and earlier this month was named one of 10 finalists for this season’s Miss Volleyball Award from the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.
Flynn entered this fall as a two-time Division 1 all-state first-team selection and made the third team as a freshman. She also has built up significant international experience as well over the last two years as a member of USA Volleyball’s U19 and U21 national teams. She will continue her career at Nebraska, which is ranked No. 2 this week and has finished NCAA Tournament runner-up two of the last three seasons including a year ago.

Performance of the Week: Rochester Hills Stoney Creek's Abbey DeGraw
February 2, 2024
Abbey DeGraw ♦ Rochester Hills Stoney Creek
Senior ♦ Competitive Cheer
DeGraw – a Division 1 all-state first-team selection last season – was among standouts as Stoney Creek won the Division 1 competition at Saturday’s Wyandotte Roosevelt Invitational. The Cougars scored 790.16 points to edge rival Rochester Adams by two-hundredths of a point. Adams was second and Stoney Creek third – behind champion Rochester High – at last season’s Division 1 Final.
A dancer growing up, DeGraw began cheer in sixth grade and also made the all-state second team as a junior when Stoney Creek finished Division 1 runner-up. Stoney Creek will compete in the same District as Adams and Rochester on Feb. 16 as the Cougars begin their pursuit of a first Finals championship since 2019. DeGraw will next attend University of Michigan, and study biochemistry.
