429 April 2003 AWARDS PROGRAMS, CLINICS ADD TO MHSAA WINTER TOURNAMENT FESTIVITIES In addition to 14 championship tournaments – boys and girls, Upper and Lower Peninsula – during Febraury and March, the winter is also a busy time for MHSAA Awards Programs and Clinics. The 14th class of Scholar-Athlete Award winners was recognized during the Boys Basketball Tournament, as was this year’s Forsythe Award winner. During the Volleyball Finals, the MHSAA honored its sixth “Legends of the Games” school, and encouraged youth participation through the fifth CHAMPS Clinic. The following pages offer a closer look at the programs. Girls Volleyball CHAMPS Clinic Draws a Crowd To enhance the atmosphere of selected tournament finals, the Michigan High School Athletic Association is in its fifth year of conducting CHAMPS youth clin- ics. CHAMPS (Cooperation, Hard Work, Attitude, Motivation, Participation, Sportsmanship) Clinics target local female junior high/middle school-aged students and their parents in a morning-long work- shop designed to provide game skills and life skills information. This year, 60 junior high/middle school girls volleyball players and their parents took part in the clinic on John Johnson, Okemos March 15 in Kalamazoo. CHAMPS participants practice their serves during the clinic above. Later, they were recognized in on the court between games of the Class D Final between Battle Creek St. Philip and Adrian Lenawee Christian. 20-20 Photographic Semelsberger Receives Forsythe Award

431 April 2003 BATTLE CREEK ST. PHILIP HONORED AS GIRLS VOLLEYBALL “LEGENDS” The 10 Lower Peninsula Class D Girls Volleyball championship teams from Battle Creek St. Philip High School were honored through the Michigan High School Athletic Association's "Legends Of The Games" program at ceremonies prior to the Class A championship match of the 2003 Girls Volleyball Finals at University Arena in Kalamazoo on March 15. In its sixth year, the Legends program promotes educational athletics by showcasing some of the great teams of past years. Members of the St. Philip teams in attendance received commemorative plaques and a banner to display at the school during the ceremony. The story that follows is a compilation of memories from various accounts, recalling St. Philip's claim to excellence in volleyball that prior to this year's tournament has produced 1202 wins, 299 losses and 91 ties, 10 L.P. Class D championships, six runners-up finishes, and six other Semifinal appearances.

Many a team has claimed, "We're rebuilding" going into a season, but Battle Creek St. Philip volleyball teams never uttered those words. Instead, the Tigers – sometimes referred to around the Battle Creek area as the Big Red Machine – just reloaded. A net result has been 21 Semifinal appearances in 27 years of Michigan High School Athletic Association-sponosred girls' volley- ball tournaments. While volleyball officially became a sport at St. Philip in 1974, its origins could actually be traced to three years earlier, when Kellogg Community College men's and women's coach Mick Haley had three young St. Philip students on his Junior Komets team. When the three students – Patti Guerra, Sue Haan and Mary Jo Smith – entered their freshman years of high school in 1974, they were seasoned volleyball players who were able to jump start the program under head coach Linda Anderson Ratti, who would stay on in 1975 as an assistant. Becky Emrich became the coach in 1975, bringing a wealth of volleyball knowledge, the experience of playing for two national junior college championship teams and instilling an over- whelming desire to strive for championships. Sheila Guerra, an educator at St. Philip for more than 30 years, began coaching in 1976 as the junior varsity and junior high school coach. The rest is history. Emrich's 1976, 1977 and 1978 teams all reached the MHSAA Semifinals, advancing to the Finals in 1977 before losing to Flint Holy Rosary. In 1979, the Tigers broke through for their first of 10 MHSAA championships, defeating Leland. Emrich retired from coaching after her brief stint at St. Philip, yielding to Guerra. What a ride awaited St. Philip. Guerra produced a 862-183-46 record and nine MHSAA titles from 1982-97. "I think of all the girls over the years and we've been blessed with many fine coaches, great fans, an abundance of talent, great determination and a few lucky breaks," said Guerra. "The right people, in the right place, at just the right time, all combined to produce a winning formula." An often heard slogan of Big Red teams has been, "Anything is possible to those who believe, help us to believe in ourselves and each other." Here's a look at the 10 St. Philip MHSAA championship teams: 1979 - After four years of hard work , coach Emrich's team broke the ice, defeating Leland, 12-15, 15-9, 15-13. Seniors Julie Flees and Cathie Petrucco were the dominating forces. 1983 - Mindful of losses to Leland in the 1980 and 1982 Semifinals, the Tigers were hungry, eventually reaching the MHSAA Finals against Dryden. St. Philip lost the first game, 15-9, and was down 14-8 in the second game before roaring back to win, 16-14, and cruised in the third game, 15-5. Emerging from the roster was coach Guerra's daughter, Vicky, Kelly Adams, Kathy Bond, Jenny Campbell, Kelly Daum, sisters Mary and Therese Martin, Katie Schulte and Sue Sokolowski. 1984 - That returning group began the year as it had ended in 1983, providing the ingredients necessary to wear another MHSAA crown. The Tigers won 64 matches and lost just six, includ- ing a 15-1, 15-10 romp over Dryden in the Final. 1985 - The first volleyball team in the Lower Peninsula to earn three MHSAA titles, all-state

April 2003 432 seniors Bond, Guerra and Therese Martin led the way to a 15-1, 15-10 thrashing of Ottawa Lake- Whiteford. "It was a fitting way to end a career," recalled Vicky Guerra, her full legacy at St. Philip yet to unfold. 1989 - Reaching the Semifinals in 1987 and Finals in 1988 kept St. Philip's program on the prowl. They would match the 1984 team's win total of 64, and Carrie Adams, lefty hitter Eileen Crane, Beth Crawford, Cathy Culp, Kim Dalimonte, Rachel LewAllen, Shannon Lucas, Amy Nelson and Sarah Parker encouraged each other with a team approach. That attitude produced 15- 10, 15-6 wins over Potterville in the Final, avenging the title-match loss to the Vikings one year earlier. 1992 - Which St. Philip team was the best? Arguably, this one was. Its 66-7-4 record was mostly accumulated against larger, top-ranked schools. St. Philip had to overcome adversity, also, losing setter Courtney Smith to a knee injury four weeks prior to the MHSAA Final. Senior cap- tains Kim Dalimonte and Beth Crawford, and junior middle Megan Reetz, more than made up for the void, as the Tigers downed Dryden in the Final, 16-14, 15-2. 1993 - Reetz led St. Philip over Dryden again, 16-14, 15-12 in another classic Final matchup. Dull provided the balance for an attack that included Jodie Brasseur and Madeline Chadwick, Emily Lindow, and Jessica Neve; blended with super sophomores Jennifer Heisler and Mary Ann Staib. The ball was really rolling for St. Philip, youth was stepping up and the run was not over. 1994 - Three freshmen made the varsity - Megan Markovich, Sarah Reetz and Brooke Formsma, a precise hitter who would be a first team all-state selection four straight years. While Formsma carried much of the St. Philip's attack, seniors Dull and Liz Geiger were complimented nicely by juniors Breea Formsma, Kara Markovich, Heisler and Staib. St. Philip defeated Rochester Lutheran West in the Final, 15-6, 15-9. 1995 - Brooke Formsma, Megan Markovich, Sarah Reetz and sophomore Mary Chadwick joined the battle-tested seniors Heisler, Staib and Kara Markovich to beat Maple City-Glen Lake, 15-8, 15-1 and become the first Lower Peninsula volleyball team to serve up four straight cham- pionships (Portage Northern would share the honor hours later, winning Class A, while Brimley with five Open Class titles from 1981-85 had already turned the trick in the Upper Peninsula). 1997 - In a fitting conclusion to Guerra's coaching career, the Tigers earned a 15-6, 15-9 Final victory over Center Line St. Clement. "I felt like I was on top of the world during the cham- pionship game," said Kelly Fitzgerald, a sophomore middle amid seniors Brooke Formsma, Chadwick, Megan Markovich and Sarah Reetz; juniors Teresa Bess and Katie Staib, and sopho- more Whitney Starring. In addition to the 10 MHSAA championships, St. Philip has finished as the runner-up six times and was ousted after reaching the Semifinals six times. Vicky (Guerra) Groat, Sheila's daughter who played from 1983-85, now coaches St. Philip, recently completing her fifth year. The Tigers turned in runner-up efforts under Groat in 1998, 2002 and 2003, still looking to become the only high school program to wear the crown in every decade of volleyball's MHSAA sponsorship as a tournament sport.■

April 2003 438 FAILURE TO RATE OFFICIALS

Member schools of the Michigan High School Athletic Association have agreed through Regulation II, Section 7(B) to rate officials in several of the sports for which the MHSAA conducts a postseason tournament and to be subject to penalties when a school fails to rate any officials in a sport that requires it. Recent surveys indicate schools value the opportunity to rate officials and do not want that opportunity eliminated. Most officials would prefer an evaluation process over ratings by participating schools; but under our current system, officials need schools to rate them so they can amass the num- ber of ratings necessary to be considered for advancement and tournament assignments. On March 23, 2001, the MHSAA Representative Council adopted the policy of publish- ing in the MHSAA Bulletin the names of schools which fail to rate any officials in a sport and to do so as soon as possible following the season. For the Fall season of 2002-03, the following schools have failed to rate any officials:
