SAC Sound-off: Live from Breslin

March 21, 2012

This week we introduce Portland St. Patrick junior Elle Lehman, who not only assisted with the MHSAA's Class D trophy presentation Saturday -- but also played against eventual champion Waterford Our Lady in Thursday's Semifinal at the Breslin Center.

Elle Lehman, Portland St. Patrick junior

  • Sports: Basketball and softball
  • Non-sports activities: Student council, National Honors Society
  • Favorite classes: World Literature. You have a chance to express your voice in different, creative ways.
  • Must-see TV: "Family Guy” or “That 70s Show”
  • One shining moment: My favorite high school sports highlight would have been in the 1999 Class D girls basketball state championship when there was a few seconds left and St. Pat threw the ball in and it bounced off of someone’s foot, and then we scored!!
  • What’s next: I am not sure what school, but I would like to study pre-medicine and play softball in college – then eventually possibly become an orthopedic surgeon.
  • My favorite part of game day is: ... hearing our fans cheer! I love the atmosphere when you are down on the court and everyone around you is yelling and cheering.

Recent Royal Oak graduate and multi-sport athlete Thomas Romito was among winners this past year of the Michigan Student Voice competition hosted by the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals. 

During the MASSP conference at the end of June, Romito explains how he responded to his changing role as a student-athlete, and how others can still make an impact from the sideline by following the same path.
