Wyatt Jenkins, Senior, Whitehall Wrestling
Jenkins recently recorded his 100th win via pin on January 9th against North Muskegon. Fast forward to the GMAA tournament which consists of twelve total teams in the Muskegon area. The tournament took place last Saturday at Orchard View. Jenkins competed at the 285lbs weight class and finished at the top of the podium.
Marvin Moore, Junior, Reeths-Puffer Boys Basketball
The junior guard has shown his elite 3-level scoring all season. On Friday, Moore helped RP propel past Jenison with a 20-point performance. In the narrow loss to rival Mona Shores a week ago, Moore dropped 21 points, which led the team.
Taylor Nutt, Sophomore, Ravenna Bowling
Throughout the season, Nutt has consistently delivered high scores, including games of 197 and 233 in a match against Holton on January 17, 2025, maintaining the team’s undefeated record. Her leadership and outstanding performances have been instrumental in Ravenna’s success, and her future in high school bowling looks exceptionally promising.
