On Aug. 9, three members of the MHSAA Student Advisory Council participated in the filming of a video for Bally Sports Detroit that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the opportunities it created for high school student-athletes.
Detroit Renaissance junior Christian Sanders, Clarkston senior Keira Tolmie and Dearborn Advanced Tech Academy junior DaNia Womack appear in the video produced at Bally Sports Detroit’s studio. Natalie Kerwin is the narrator. The video will appear during “Football Fridays” presented by Southeast Michigan Ford Dealers on Bally Sports Detroit and during livestreams of high school games on the NFHS Network.
Tolmie also documented the day of filming in the following Tik Tok video.

Performance of the Week: Saginaw Arthur Hill's Michael Baldwin
January 12, 2024
Michael Baldwin ♦ Saginaw Arthur Hill
Junior ♦ Wrestling
Baldwin became the final Arthur Hill county wrestling champion Saturday, claiming the Saginaw County Invitational title at 165 pounds with a 26-11 win over Frankenmuth's Owen Tucker in the title match. Baldwin also was named the tournament's Upper Weight Most Valuable Wrestler. His victory includes the additional historical note because Arthur Hill will merge with Saginaw High this summer, ending their century-long histories in forming a new school.
Baldwin won all three of his matches by technical fall Saturday to move to 7-2 this season. He finished last winter 38-7 after reaching the MHSAA Individual Finals also at 165 pounds. Baldwin played several sports growing up and joined Arthur Hill's cross country team this past season, and was named captain. He hopes to attend University of Michigan after graduation and join his brother Lionel, a league and District champion and Finals placer last winter as a high school senior.
