The MHSAA's Student Advisory Council met for the first time Tuesday for its annual 24-hour leadership camp at Mystic Lake near Farwell.
Check out this "Flipagram" from the MHSAA's Instagram page to see some of what these 16 students experienced during the trip.
Returning members of the Council who will graduate next spring are Eliza Beird from Holland Black River; Grant Osborne, White Lake Lakeland; Amanda Paull, Cheboygan; Jonathan Perry, McBain Northern Michigan Christian; Emily Starck, Remus Chippewa Hills; Connor Thomas, Marlette; Caycee Turczyn, Lapeer West; and Aaron Van Horn, Kingston.
They are joined by incoming juniors Tucker Gross of Beal City; Katie Hartzler, Bridgman; Benjamin Kowalske, Livonia Stevenson; Jared Pittman, Muskegon; Bekah Myler, Gaylord St. Mary; Jordan Michalak, Birmingham Seaholm; Trevor Trierweiler, Portland; and Greta Wilker, Belding.
The Student Advisory Council provides feedback on issues impacting educational athletics from a student’s perspective and also is involved in the operation of Association championship events and other programming.
Members of the Student Advisory Council serve for two years, beginning as juniors. Eight new members are selected annually to serve on the SAC, with nominations made by MHSAA member schools.
Performance of the Week: West Bloomfield's Indya Davis
February 10, 2023
Indya Davis ♦ West Bloomfield
Junior ♦ Basketball
Davis scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds as West Bloomfield defeated Detroit Edison 59-49 in a matchup of last season’s Division 1 and Division 2 champions, respectively. The Lakers also had defeated Edison during the 2021-22 regular season, when they became the first in-state opponent to defeat the Pioneers since January 2018. This winter, Davis is averaging 16.1 points – connecting on 51 percent of her shots from the floor – with 9.4 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game.
A 5-foot-9 guard, Davis was the leading scorer in both the Semifinal win over Rockford and the championship game victory over Hartland last year at the Breslin Center. West Bloomfield is 16-2 overall this season and has clinched a share of the Oakland Activities Association Red championship, and among a talented cast Davis continues to team with twin sister Summer, the Lakers’ leading scorer at 19.6 ppg who like Indya is considered among the state’s elite players. They’ll continue to team up after high school as well, having committed to sign with Michigan State.
