5 MHSAA Finals 2019 Softball Review

Warren Regina 3, Howell 2 (8) Adriana James was nervous. The 2019 MHSAA Division 1 Final had moved into the eighth inning, and Warren Regina teammate Marisa Muglia had led off the bottom half by reaching first base on an error. After pinch-runner Jenna Holt moved all the way to third DIVISION 1 base on a sacrifice, James watched Howell walk Regina’s next two hitters to set up force plays at every base. Now the Secchia Stadium bases were loaded for the Saddlelites freshman. James sent a grounder back to the pitching circle, and a bobble gave Holt enough time to cross the plate and finish a 3-2 win that clinched the program’s seventh Finals championship. “When Adriana came up and the pitcher bobbled it … I have no words for it,’’ Holt said. Added James: “All (the pitcher’s) balls were moving outside. I just saw the ball right on the inside corner, low, and I just went for it. We had nothing to lose, and it paid off. I was surprised they walked the two batters because it has really never happened. I was really nervous.’’ The championship was the program’s first since 2015, and all seven have come in Hockey Weekly Action Photos Division 1 or the former Class A under longtime coach Diane Laffey. Howell’s Avrey Wolverton opened her team’s half of the eighth inning with a single, and Maddie Springer walked. Both moved up, but the threat ended on a Muglia strikeout. Muglia finished with 12 strikeouts, and Howell pitcher Molly Carney struck out seven and gave up only five hits. Regina finished the year 30-11, while Howell ended 36-4.

Escanaba 7, Stevensville Lakeshore 3 DIVISION 2 Two rarities happened in the first inning of the 2019 MHSAA Division 2 softball cham- pionship game at Michigan State’s Secchia Stadium. The first was Escanaba all-state pitch- er Gabi Salo (left) allowed a walk against Stevensville Lakeshore. The second was Salo gave up a run. Salo entered the championship game with a 25-2 record, 0.24 and 337 strikeouts and just 21 walks. If that’s not enough, she had given up only six earned runs all year. She gave up three runs – two earned – in the championship game, but contained the Lancers enough to secure a 7-3 victory that clinched the Eskymos’ second straight Division 2 title. “I thought I had my best stuff today,’’ said the junior pitcher. “I thought I went out strong. This means so much. Our school went without a state title from 1981 until last year. For us to bring home another one, I don’t have words.’’ The Lancers surprisingly struck early when Salo surrendered a two-out walk and Meghan Younger drove her home on a just out of the reach of the centerfielder. It was just the seventh earned run Salo had given up this season. She finished with 11 strikeouts while allowing seven hits. Escanaba finished the spring 34-3, while Lakeshore ended 33-11. Salo helped her own cause in the second inning with a game-tying sacrifice fly. Escanaba loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning and Nicole Kamin and the Eskymos took advantage of a fly ball dropping out of an outfielder’s mitt that allowed three Hockey Weekly Action Photos runs to score and gave the reigning champ a 5-1 lead.

Millington 8, Schoolcraft 0 Runner-up in 2018 – and seeking the first team championship in any sport in school history – Millington made sure it would be heading home with a soft- ball title in 2019. The Cardinals dominated Schoolcraft from the start of an 8-0 victory in the MHSAA Division 3 Final at Michigan State’s Secchia Stadium, a year after missing out on that milestone victory by just a run. Millington, which also won its first Regional title and made the Semifinals when these seniors were freshmen in 2016, finished this season 38-2-1. “To win the first championship in school history is something special,’’ said senior Gabbie Sherman. “This is the first in school history to win in anything.’’ After Sherman set Schoolcraft down in order in the top of the first inning, Millington outfielder Darrien Roberts (3, right) got the Cardinals’ offense DIVISION 3 rolling with a blast on the first pitch she saw to deep center field that climbed up the light pole and over the fence to give her team a 1-0 lead. Hockey Weekly Action Photos “It was definitely a starter; it got my team going,’’ said Roberts, who hit her 18th of the season. “Anytime I go up as the leadoff hitter, my coaches tell me I set the mood and I have to set the tone and get on base. This was our year.’’ Before the Eagles could get an out, Leah Denome singled, Sherman singled, Madi Hahn had a two-run double and Sydney Bishop had an RBI single to make it 4-0. Millington had 17 hits total, and for the second straight season Denome tied the Finals record with four. Sherman had three hits and struck out 13 batters in her final high school start.

Historic Baseball Program Home Sweet Homer Returns to the Top of the Heap

fter a postseason full of winning, the players on Athe Homer baseball team have become dogpile veterans. Heading Home Homer’s Kyle So after the Trojans defeated Grosse Pointe Woods Compton slides in with the Trojans’ third run in the first inning after his University Liggett 4-0 in the 2019 MHSAA Division 3 two-run double opened the scoring. Final, a small game of “I’m not going to be on the bot- tom” broke out before the traditional baseball celebra- tion commenced. “The dogpiles get a little more intense, a little more vicious the more you keep winning,” Homer coach Scott Salow said. “Today, I’ll watch the video later, but I think it was pretty good. I think they’ve gotten smart after the last five or six dogpiles; they all kind of look around and wait. I’m the last one out of the dugout, so I’m not going in.” Homer (33-3) scored four runs in the first inning at McLane Stadium and rode the arm of senior pitcher Zach Butters to its first Finals title since 2006, and third overall. “We’ve been working to get here for a long time, this group of guys,” Butters said. “It’s overwhelming to Hockey Weekly Action Photos finally get here and win this with my guys. It means a lot. I mean, look at all these people out here coming “He threw his slider/curveball out of the zone, and we just kept out to support us. We’re a small town, and it’s just a swinging at it,” Liggett coach Dan Cimini said. “The gameplan was to great feeling. It means the world.” not swing at that.

Butters got some help from his defense, which didn’t commit an “We had a gameplan going into it to stay away,” error and also got him out of the one jam he found himself in all day.

Butters’ gameplan, but was out-executed. “I knew it was going to be a close one – Dylan was out there, and he was running,” Butters said. “I was like, ‘Oh boy.’ Then he lays out like Hockey Weekly Action Photos Superman, and he comes up with it.

All of Homer’s offense, meanwhile, came in the first inning, high- lighted by a two-run double from Kyle Compton and a two-run single from Wilson. The Trojans threatened again in the second, putting run- ners at the corners with two outs, but Cimini went to the bullpen and brought in senior Billy Kopicki, who ended the threat. Kopicki was strong in relief, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out two in 4 1/3 innings. Kopicki is part of a strong senior class that was part of three Final Four runs and helped the Knights win a title in 2016. Drew Zelenak led Liggett with two hits, while Patrick Illitch had a double. Wilson led Homer with a pair of hits.

8 MHSAA Finals 2019 Baseball Review

Portage Northern 10, Rockford 4 Hockey Weekly Action Photos Portage Northern has made a habit of getting on top of teams early this season. There’s no secret to that success. The Huskies are just that good at the plate. “We can all hit,” senior outfielder Tyler Helgeson said. “This is a great line- up, this is a great team, because if one guy is having an off day, you know that the whole team has your back.” Pretty much everyone in the lineup had a good day as the Huskies pound- ed out 12 hits on their way to a 10-4 victory against Rockford in the 2019 Division 1 Baseball Final at McLane Stadium on the campus of Michigan State University. The title is the first in Northern baseball history. The win was Northern’s 24th over its final 25 games of the season, with its only loss coming against Division 2 champ Orchard Lake St. Mary’s in the final game of the regular season. “This group of kids is just phenomenal,” Northern coach Chris Andrews said. “They put in all the work, and they play for each other. It’s awesome.” DIVISION 1 It was the second trip to the Finals for the Huskies (39-7), who had finished Portage Northern's Tyler Helgeson (7), Gannon Andrews (2), runner-up in 2015. Several of those players, as well as other alumni, were on Zach Quinn (27) and Malcolm Gaynor celebrate. hand to watch Andrews lift the trophy for the first time. Cam French and Helgeson had the biggest hits for the Huskies, as French drove in two runs during a four-run first inning and Helgeson hit a three-run home run over the wall in right field to highlight a five-run fifth. They each had three hits on the day, as did Zach Quinn. Nolan McCarthy, Greg Lapetina (RBI) and Gannon Andrews (two RBI) each added one hit, while Parker Brey and Malcom Gaynor each added an RBI. DIVISION 2 Orchard Lake St. Mary’s 8, Grand Rapids Catholic Central 1 By the time the final weekend of the 2019 baseball season came around, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s was a juggernaut. The young but incredibly talented Eaglets showed that by defeating their final two opponents by a combined score of 18-1, including an 8-1 victory against Grand Rapids Catholic Central in the MHSAA Division 2 Final at McLane Stadium. But after a 7-9 start to the season, what seemed inevitable by the end looked far from certain. “That Ohio trip (on spring break), we really just kind of bonded closer,” St. Mary’s sophomore second baseman Alex Mooney said. “We said, ‘Enough is enough, we’re not losing anymore,’ and that’s actually what we did – we haven’t lost since. You see all the talent, and it’s like, ‘Why aren’t we winning?’ Then it finally just clicked, and everything just came together.” St. Mary’s (34-9-2) finished the season 27-0-2 over its final 29 games to claim the fourth Finals title in school history, and first since 2015. "It’s good putting it all together,” Eaglets coach Matt Petry said. “At the beginning of the year while we were struggling, we would get good pitching and we wouldn’t swing. For the last two months, we’ve kind of put it all together and we’ve won every type of game possible, and the guys were just really confident coming into this weekend.” That confidence was evident, as the Eaglets were always in control against the Cougars thanks to strong hitting and a stellar pitching performance from freshman starter Brock Porter (right). In Hockey Weekly Action Photos six innings of work, Porter struck out seven while allowing five hits, three walks and one run.

Petersburg-Summerfield 9, Saginaw Nouvel 0 For a program that had never been to a Semifinal prior, Petersburg- DIVISION 4 Summerfield looked awfully comfortable at McLane Stadium in 2019. The Bulldogs were unfazed by the pressure of playing for their first champi- onship at Michigan State University and capped off a brilliant weekend with a 9-0 win against Saginaw Nouvel in the MHSAA Division 4 Baseball Final. “I preached to them from the first day of practice that we’re going to win the state championship,” Summerfield coach Travis Pant said. “No stage, no matter who we play and on any stage – we went to Decatur and played under the lights. We scheduled some big games, and I just wanted to get them used to the big stage so this was, ‘We’re supposed to be here.’ We just wanted to show that we do belong and that none of this was a fluke.” Nobody could possibly look at what the Bulldogs did this postseason as a fluke, eekly Action Photos as they outscored opponents by a combined 89-2 in the postseason, with shutouts in each of their last three games.

Hockey W “Just hit the ball and field the ball; that’s basically all we did,” Summerfield jun- ior pitcher Derek Clark said. The catalyst for that was a pitching staff led by Clark, who threw a gem to shut the Nouvel offense down. Clark went the full seven innings, striking out 11 and allowing four hits and one walk. Sophomore Brock Olmstead opened the scoring in the first with an RBI single, and Clark made it 2-0 when he scored on a squeeze bunt laid down by Brandon Tyler. At that point, with Clark about to take the mound, the Summerfield coaches and players felt they were on their way to a title.

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. The new additions to the SAC join the Class of 2021 members who were select- ed in 2019: Pierre Brooks II, Detroit Douglass; Macy Brown, Cadillac; Lydia Davenport, Ithaca; Freddy Kopplow, Traverse City St. Francis; Colin McAuliffe, Salem; Avery Peters, Mason; Abbey Pheiffer, Novi; and Landen Thompson, Stevensville Lakeshore.

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.

6 - MHSAA Programs Leadership The MHSAA Representative Council

he Representative Council of the Michigan High School Athletic TAssociation is the body assembled to carry out the wishes of member schools. The Council meets several times annually to discuss and pass legislation concerning interscholastic athletics in Michigan. The Representative Council is made up of 19 members, with all but five elected by a vote of MHSAA-member schools to repre- sent different geographic regions, different sizes of schools, nonpublic schools, and jun- ior and middle schools. Two members are elected to statewide at-large positions. Four members are appointed by the Council to facilitate representation of females and minorities, and the 19th position is occupied by the Superintendent of Public Instruction or his/her designee. The officers and two other representa- tives form the MHSAA’s Executive Committee, which meets on a monthly basis during the school year to review eligibility appeals and other current business.
