SAC Sound-Off: Now we're the seniors
June 21, 2012
For our final MHSAA Student Advisory Council Sound-off of the 2011-12 school year, we asked our juniors -- now seniors-to-be -- what they are looking forward to most in 2012-13.
Like students all over the state, our SAC members also are enjoying summer break. But check back this fall for more peer perspectives from our 16 seniors and juniors.
I'm most looking forward to ...
"... being a leader in the classroom, a leader on the court and having underclassmen look up to me for support." -- Elle Lehman, Portland St. Patrick
"... just enjoying my final year of high school sports, and also trying to figure out where I want to go to college. I also really am excited about being a leader on my teams." -- Taylor Krumm, Walled Lake Central
"... to being Big Man on Campus." -- Thye Fischman, Vandercook Lake
"... my senior golf season and our run at a state championship." -- Abby Radomsky, Kalamazoo Hackett Catholic Central
"... meeting the new juniors," -- Evan Lamb, Rogers City
"... taking a bigger leadership role on my cross country team and enjoying my last year of high school sports." -- Carly Joseph, Pontiac Notre Dame Prep
Battle of the Fans IV: Vote Now

Second Half editor
We watched and enjoyed what hopefuls sent us from all over the state, then criss-crossed Michigan to see this season's best for ourselves.
And now it's your turn to vote for your favorite student cheering section of this season's Battle of the Fans IV.
Vote today through 4 p.m. Thursday on your favorite of these five (enrollments in parentheses) – Beaverton (422), Buchanan (462), Dowagiac (606), St. Johns (1,088) and Yale (716) – by liking, sharing and re-tweeting on the MHSAA’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram sites
But before you do, take a few minutes to watch all five videos and read the stories behind the sections by clicking the links below.
The contest is sponsored by the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, which will have the final vote on the champion. SAC members will use all resources available to make their decision – including giving significant weight to the public social media vote. Votes will be valued proportionate to the size of the school receiving them (for example, one vote for Class C Beaverton will mean more than one vote for much larger Class A St. Johns).
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. The winner will be invited to Breslin on March 27 for the Class B Boys Basketball Semifinals and presented a championship banner at center court.
And now, the finalists, in alphabetical order:
