All season long, CatchMark Sports shines a spotlight on the athletes who deliver the biggest moments — the stat-sheet stuffers, the clutch performers, and the leaders who lift their teams week after week. We do this series because great high school sports stories deserve to be celebrated in real time, and because it gives fans, families, and communities a chance to rally around the student-athletes representing them. And while every week matters, the postseason carries a different kind of electricity — one possession, one frame, one match can change everything, and the performances become memories that last for years. That’s what makes these nominations special: they capture the moments everyone will still be talking about long after the season ends.

Taylor DeKuiper – Fremont Basketball)
Taylor DeKuiper earns nomination honors after a dominant stretch in two high-pressure wins. She poured in 26 points with 10 rebounds and 4 assists in a marquee victory over Shelby, then followed it up with a 21-point, 13-rebound, 5-steal, 5-assist performance in a comeback win over Zeeland East. Nearly adding a triple-double (8 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists) in another outing, DeKuiper’s ability to score, rebound, defend, and facilitate makes her one of the most complete players in the area — and a driving force behind Fremont’s late-season surge.
Skyler Bosch – Mona Shores Bowling
Skyler Bosch turned in the highest regional pinfall total reported across all divisions, rolling an impressive 1,291 series to qualify for the Division 1 State Finals. Competing in one of the state’s toughest divisions, Bosch delivered consistent high games under postseason pressure. His performance not only punched his ticket to states but established him as one of the top individual bowlers in the region this season.
Liam Leeke – Whitehall Wrestling
Liam Leeke captured a Division 3 Regional Championship at 157 pounds, earning his place at the MHSAA State Finals and helping power Whitehall to a huge postseason showing that included 10 state qualifiers. Winning a regional title requires navigating a deep, high-pressure bracket, and Leeke did just that, solidifying himself as one of the top wrestlers in his weight class and a key piece of Whitehall’s championship momentum.
