MHSAA News Getting to the Finish Line Surely and Safely
t has now been more than a year since the Covid-19 global pandemic changed everyday life and brought an Iabrupt end to the MHSAA Winter tournaments of 2020, on March 12 of 2020 to be exact. Thousands of students could not see through to the end all of their efforts in basketball, gymnastics, ice hockey and LP boys swimming and diving. Little did we know then that thousands more would not have the opportunity to participate in any Spring sports. For seniors around Michigan and the country, that also resulted in no proms, graduations, or even stepping onto the college cam- pus of their choice when fall rolled around. It was against those seemingly insurmountable odds that the MHSAA – buoyed by its hard-working and dedicated mem- bership – rolled up its sleeves and went to work to provided athletic opportunities in 2020-21 that were taken away from so With care, perseverance, and due diligence, the MHSAA was able to conduct many last school year. fall sports seasons in a safe manner, culminating in the crowning of champions Since last July, the goal of the MHSAA has been to have in all sports. The goal remains the same for the remainder of the 2020-21 three seasons in this school year that all reached the finish line. school year. It was at times a rollercoaster ride to rival any amusement park but thanks to the leadership of our schools and willingness of participants to conform to new and everchanging state guide- lines, we made it to the end of the frenetic fall journey. When the annual 2020 championships in LP girls swim- ming, volleyball and football concluded – in January of 2021, it was a sense of accomplishment. However, a cloud of uncertainty still lingered over this Winter’s games as the waiting game continued to realize enough decline in Covid numbers that would allow our stu- dents to return to buildings and athletic arenas. As with the summer leading up to this school year, and as our winter start dates were postponed time and again, the reality was that kids were going to be playing sports someplace. Period.

he Student Advisory Council is a 16-member group which pro- Tvides feedback on issues impacting educational athletics from a student’s perspective, and also is involved in the operation of Association championship events and other program- ming. Members of the Student Advisory Council serve for two years, beginning as juniors. Eight new members are selected annually to serve on the SAC, with nomi- Brinlee Barry Pierre Brooks II Faith Breinager Macy Brown nations made by MHSAA member schools. The incoming juniors join the group of eight seniors-to-be appointed a year earlier. Selected to begin serving on the Student Advisory Council in 2020-21 are: Brinlee Barry, Caledonia; Faith Breinager, Frankenmuth; Amina Ferris, Dearborn; Nico Johnson, Britton Deerfield; Brenna Kosal, Peck; Ashton McNabb, Three Oaks River Valley; Brock Porter, Orchard Lake St. Mary's; and Lydia Davenport Amina Ferris Nico Johnson Freddy Kopplow Melik Williams, Ypsilanti Lincoln. Those eight new members were selected from a record-high 179 appli- cants, twice as many as generally apply for SAC positions every year. The first Student Advisory Council was formed for the 2006-07 school year. With the addition of this class beginning this summer, members will have repre- sented 117 schools from 45 leagues plus independent schools that do not play in a league. Combined, the new appointees Brenna Kosal Colin McAuliffe Ashton McNabb Avery Peters have participated in nine MHSAA sports, and seven will be the first SAC members from their respective schools.

Student Advisory Council Belief Statement As the voice of Michigan's student-athletes, the Student Advisory Council's role is to convey the message of how high school sports are supposed to be played. We are responsible for helping the MHSAA maintain a positive and healthy atmosphere in which interscholastic athletes can thrive.
We believe athletes should be competitive, sportsmanlike and excel academically. We believe students in the stands should have fun, but not take the focus away from the game. We believe coaches should act as teachers, helping student-athletes develop while still keeping high school sports in perspective. We believe that parents should always be positive role models and be supportive of their child's decisions. We believe officials commit their own time to high school sports and respect should always be shown and given to them.
The most important goal for student-athletes is to enjoy high school sports while keeping a high level of respect between all those involved in the games.
