SAC Sound-off: Meet Owosso's Matt Freeman

April 11, 2012

Matt Freeman is a big part of the Owosso football program -- he's 6-foot-2 and 270 pounds and made his all-league team last season -- and will continue to be a big part of the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council as a senior next fall.  He's one of eight juniors on the council; members are selected at the end of their sophomores years and serve two-year terms.

  • Sports: Football, basketball, golf
  • Non-sports activities: Hunting, farming, drummer, theater
  • Favorite class: Weight lifting
  • Must-see TV: ESPN SportCenter
  • One shining moment: Coming back from 15 down to beat Corunna in basketball this season.
  • What’s next: Hopefully, college football. If not, then a small college, and coming home on weekends. Working with my hands – nothing behind a desk.
  • My favorite part of game day is: ... at school, knowing most of the people you see never get the opportunity to be on a team, and knowing you are lucky to be on the team you are on.

    Senior ♦ Basketball

    Palmer capped his high school career Saturday with 18 points, six rebounds and three steals as Brandywine defeated Detroit Old Redford 56-48 in the Division 3 championship game to earn the school’s first Finals title in boys basketball. He also had 12 points, five rebounds and a pair of steals in Brandywine’s 51-48 Semifinal victory over McBain two days earlier.

    The 6-foot-1 forward averaged 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season and started last year as a junior as well when Brandywine won its first Regional title and reached the Semifinals. He’ll play baseball this spring and played football earlier in his high school career.
