Caleb Ackley – Hart Basketball
Caleb Ackley helped Hart go 3-0 on the week while staying undefeated, putting up at least 16 points and 9+ rebounds in each game and recording two double-doubles (including his third double-double in four games). He totaled 34 points and 31 rebounds across the three wins, while shooting an outstanding 16-for-20 (80%) in the two games with full shooting stats reported.
Austin Jacobs – Fruitport Wrestling
Freshman Austin Jacobs delivered a breakout performance for Fruitport, going a perfect 5–0 and capturing the individual championship at 106 pounds. Competing in his first varsity-level spotlight, Jacobs showed poise beyond his years, winning every match on the day to stand atop the podium. What made the performance even more impactful was the context. Fruitport entered the event shorthanded, yet Jacobs’ flawless run helped the Trojans maximize team points and finish an impressive third overall.
Gabby Nutt – Ravenna Bowling
Gabby Nutt put together an outstanding week on the lanes with both peak performance and strong consistency. She rolled a match-best 242 high game vs. Whitehall, then followed it up with scores of 215 and 190 vs. Grand Haven. With high-level scoring across multiple matches, Nutt delivered the kind of week-long consistency that stands out for recognition.
