Versatile Whitehall baseball player voted for CatchMark SportsNet Player of Week honor

Whitehall’s baseball team has been heating up the last couple weeks. The Vikings have won nine of their last 11 games entering Saturday’s Greater Muskegon Athletic Association tournament.

Similarly, Whitehall baseball standout Brock Morningstar was on fire in the CatchMark SportsNet West Michigan Conference Player of the Week fan poll this week.

Morningstar, a versatile junior for the Vikings, won the Player of the Week poll with 2,895 of 5,595 total votes. North Muskegon soccer standout Emmy Creed was runner-up with 1,900 votes in this week’s poll, which recognized six spring sports athletes from the conference for their performances April 22-27, 2024.
