We asked the members of the Student Advisory Council to pick someone they wish they could meet, and tell us why. Here are their answers:

Ancestors

Carly Joseph, Pontiac Notre Dame junior
I would ask all of my grandparents about what it was like when they were growing up.

I would ask anyone in my family who lived hundreds of years ago what it was like where my family came from, and why they moved to America.

Visionaries

Tyler Wilson, Rudyard senior
I would ask Martin Luther King Jr. how he was so brave.

Maria Buczkowski, Detroit Country Day senior
I would ask Albert Einstein to convince my teachers to have a daydreaming class in school, since he developed the theory of relativity by daydreaming.

Entrepreneurs

Alissa Jones, Muskegon Catholic Central senior
I would like to ask Steve Jobs how he came up with the idea of the Ipod gadgets.

Bailey Truesdell, Grand Blanc senior
I would like to ask Warren Buffett how he made his billions.

Sports Legends

Kevin Beazley, Detroit Catholic Central senior
Michael Jordan: What are the little things that nobody knows about or sees that brought you to the top?

Matt Freeman, Owosso junior
Bear Bryant: What does it take to become the leader he was?

Evan Lamb, Rogers City junior
Joe Paterno: I'd ask how it felt to have touched the hearts of so many people throughout the years.

Performance of the Week: Jackson Northwest's Ashley Weller

Senior ♦ Basketball

A notable milestone was celebrated with a notable victory by Weller and Jackson Northwest on Jan. 9. The four-year varsity standout scored 18 points and reached 1,000 for her career as the Mounties won 43-35 over Coldwater, which joined Northwest as co-champion in the Interstate 8 Athletic Conference last season. The win over Coldwater also was the Mounties’ second this season avenging a loss from 2022-23.

Weller is averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, two assists and three steals per game this winter, and Northwest is 7-1 and a combined 57-15 over her four seasons on varsity. She scored 33 points Tuesday against Marshall as Northwest took over first place alone in the I8AC. Also a three-year varsity volleyball player and all-area selection in that sport, Weller will continue her basketball career at Spring Arbor and is considering studying physical therapy.
