Overview
- The Oregonian/OregonLive announced Grant junior Charlotte Wilson as Girls Basketball Player of the Week with 52.12% of the vote and Valley Catholic’s Hank Lomber as Boys Basketball Player of the Week with 74.56%.
- MLive’s regional Athlete of the Week polls are live, with Bay City voting open until 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22, Flint-area voting open until 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 23, and Muskegon-area voting open until midnight Friday with winners posted Friday morning.
- Flint-area nominations highlight milestone scorers, including Genesee’s Averie Zinn, who joined the MHSAA 1,000-point club after 50- and 57-point games, and New Lothrop’s Katelyn Wendling, who also reached 1,000 career points.
- Bay City’s roundup features multi-sport standouts and notes Laker senior Caden Carriveau becoming the program’s third 1,000-point boys scorer after a 23-point performance versus Reese.
- MLive reiterates its polls are non-scientific and confer no prizes or postseason impact, as Muskegon-area nominees span bowling, hockey, wrestling, swimming, and basketball, including Muskegon’s James Martin after a 40-point game.
