Battle of the Fans: Vote Now
February 20, 2012
The time has come to decide the winner of the inaugural MHSAA Battle of the Fans contest.
And we've put the decision, in part, in your hands.
Vote today through Thursday on your favorite of five finalists -- Petoskey, Rockford, Reese, Grand Rapids Christian and Frankenmuth -- by clicking the poll link on the right side of this screen.
But before you do, be sure to brush up on each by clicking on the stories behind all five sections and watching our MHSAA-produced videos of those student cheerers in action, shot over the last five weeks during the MHSAA tour of finalists' schools.
The contest is sponsored by the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, and the winner will be decided by a combination of SAC and public vote. You must be a member of Facebook and "like" the MHSAA page to take part.
The champion will be announced Friday on Second Half. Video of all five finalists will be compiled and shown on the main scoreboard during the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals in March at Michigan State's Breslin Student Events Center.

Performance of the Week: Bay City John Glenn's Asher Clark
October 4, 2024
Asher Clark ♦ Bay City John Glenn
Junior ♦ Soccer
The Bobcats’ junior striker put together a dominating day in helping John Glenn through a historic run at the Swartz Creek Invitational. Clark scored a combined six goals with eight assists as his team defeated Perry 8-0, Swartz Creek 6-0 and Chesaning 3-0 to move to 18-0-2 this season – with the 18th win setting the team’s single-season record.
John Glenn is up to 21-0-2 after its regular-season finale Thursday against North Branch, an 8-0 win during which Clark had six goals and one assist. The Bay City Times reported that Clark has 47 goals this fall, six shy of the single-season school record set in 2008 by Ty Richards. Clark also plays basketball for the Bobcats and is hoping to continue his soccer career at the college level.
