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

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.

Matt Freeman, Owosso junior

  • 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.
