March 27, 2012
EAST LANSING -- Representatives from the Frankenmuth High School student cheering section were presented with an MHSAA championship banner Friday at Michigan State's Breslin Center in honor of winning this season's "Battle of the Fans" competition.
Frankenmuth finished first from a group of finalists that also included Rockford, Grand Rapids Christian, Petoskey and Reese. This was the first year of the contest, which was created by the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council and then administered by MHSAA staff and SAC members.
A total of 19 schools submitted applications, and MHSAA staff and SAC members then visited all five finalists. The champion was crowned based on votes by both the advisory council and the public via the MHSAA Facebook page.

Performance of the Week: Grayling's Jordan Peters
September 12, 2024
Jordan Peters ♦ Grayling
Junior ♦ Soccer
Peters is anchoring a record-setting defensive effort as Grayling is off to an 8-0 start for the first time and has put together a streak of eight straight shutouts also for the first time in program history. The most recent win, 1-0 over Elk Rapids on Monday, was the Vikings’ first over the Elks since 2009. Grayling is unranked, but Elk Rapids entered this week No. 14 in Division 3.
A varsity keeper since freshman year, Peters has played a major role as Grayling has improved from 9-12-1 in 2022 to 17-6-1 last season to building high expectations with its start this fall. Peters has been in net for the entirety of every game this year, and the eight straight shutouts are tied for the 14th-longest individual scoreless game streak by a keeper in state history. Peters also wrestles and made his Division 3 Individual District Semifinals at 157 pounds last season, and he ran primarily hurdles and on the 400 relay for the track & field team last spring.
