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: Okemos' Alena Li
October 20, 2023
Alena Li ♦ Okemos
Junior ♦ Golf
Li carded a 72 to win last week’s Lower Peninsula Division 1 Regional at Currie West in Midland, leading Okemos to an overall 350 score and team championship. The Regional win came shortly after she shot a career-low 66 at the Capital Area Activities Conference Blue Tournament in leading the Wolves to a championship there as well.
This weekend’s MHSAA Final at Michigan State’s Forest Akers West will be Li’s third, and she is expected to again be among contenders in a loaded field. She tied for ninth at the Final as a freshman, when Okemos placed third as a team, and tied for sixth last season as her team finished ninth.
