Battle of the Fans: Petoskey, Here We Come
February 16, 2012
Only one stop remains on the MHSAA "Battle of the Fans" tour.
Friday is Snowcoming at Petoskey High, and the Blue Crew has the fifth and final shot at proving it's the top student cheering section in Michigan this winter.
Petoskey hosts a varsity doubleheader against West Branch Ogemaw Heights. Check in over the weekend for the story behind the section and video of the Blue Crew in action.
The Battle of the Fans Tour began in Frankenmuth, then moved to Grand Rapids Christian and Reese before hitting Rockford two weeks ago. Stories and videos on those four student sections can be found by clicking the links at the bottom of this page under "Related Articles."
Voting runs Monday-Thursday on our Facebook page, with the big announcement coming Friday. And all five finalists will be part of a video that runs on the Breslin Center scoreboard throughout the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals next month.
The contest was organized by the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council.
Performance of the Week: Traverse City St. Francis' Grace Slocum
August 30, 2024
Grace Slocum ♦ Traverse City St. Francis
Senior ♦ Golf
The Gladiators' lead golfer has been on an incredible roll to begin this season; she's a combined 4-under-par after five tournaments and won all five events. She opened with a 15-stroke victory at the Traverse City West Invitational, won the two-day Lober Classic by 14 strokes and then last week's St. Francis Invitational by 18 strokes. This week she's added a 17-stroke win at the Grayling Invitational and Thursday carded a 6-under-par 65 to win the Petoskey Invitational by 10 strokes.
Slocum finished eighth at the Lower Peninsula Division 4 Final as a freshman, moved to third as a sophomore and placed fourth as a junior last fall as her team climbed the standings to tie for sixth place. She's also played hockey for several years but will be focusing on golf moving forward after recently committing to sign with Wisconsin. She plans to major in biochemistry and minor in nutritional sciences in preparation for medical school.
