The Match That Made Me Dream Again
Anderson Knight, Hollywood Joe, and Zeeko. Photo Credit: Leonard Brand For as long as I can remember, I have been a pro wrestling fan. Growing up, I idolized Cactus Jack, Hulk Hogan, Mr. Perfect, Ted Dibiase, Shawn Michaels, and Terry Funk. As I became an adult, my favorites have been AJ Styles, Bron Breakker, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, and CM Punk. I have always been…

Really glad to see that Ricochet and Will Ospreay have grown and matured as pro wrestlers. It was nice to see some storytelling and psychology from the two of them.

As someone who grew up on the border of Allegan and Barry County, I would love to see an alliance formed between the schools in Allegan and Barry counties to form a new conference for sports.
The conference would consist of Allegan Public Schools, Delton Kellogg School District, Hastings Area School System, Hopkins Public Schools, Martin Public Schools, Otsego Public Schools, Plainwell Community Schools, TK Schools, and Wayland Union Schools.
There would be a lot less travel and a more competitive balance. It would also be amazing for the local communities.
Martin can’t compete with those schools. It is way toooo small: 40-50 kids per grade compared to Wayland’s 200-225.
I like your thought but I think a district starting with Hopkins, Hamilton, TK, Caledonia, South and Byron is a better way to go. If the goal is for Wayland to build a top of class athletic program I don’t see how Plainwell, Martin, Delton or Hastings helps. But I could be wrong. I agree travel has gotten out of control. Like for Shamorees football team…why are we traveling to spring lake or Muskegon?
This would be very unfair for many sports. I went to Martin and can tell you it would be very unfair with the exception of wrestling. Also not all schools have competitive cheer.
The NBA Cup Championship is nothing more than a participation trophy. Let me know when June rolls around and the real championship is decided.

It's the only NBA game I've watched so far this year. 😉
Dear MHSAA
It is time for Private Schools to be put into their own divisions and conferences. They have some major advantages over public schools when it comes to competing in sports. It's time that kids in the public school system get a fair and balanced schedule.
Public schools have school of choice now, not sure this argument holds as much water today. Look at Belleville
Private schools still hold a lot of advantages over public when it comes to athletics even with school of choice. This has needed to be done for years!
I’m trying to think what is bringing about this topic. lol I mean this shit has been going on for decades in high school sports. Detroit Country Day would win high school football titles due to actually recruiting and getting kids to come to their school.
When I played football we used to get 10-12 new players transferring from private school to our school, we were in the same conference as Wayland.
Private schools can offer bussing for anybody that wants to go there. School of choice kids need a ride or a car for day too day school things, if they don't live in the district. There is a reason Detroit Catholic Central dominates at most sports in division 1, it's because the pilfer all the talent in the surrounding districts. I've always felt they should have their own division
And #education
Said this for years! And NO not all public schools are school of choice
Coming from a public school athlete I enjoyed playing the private schools you're not going to get better unless you play harder competition it's all about the mindset going into and during the game. You see scores like you have been because once a team pulls away the energy level drops from the other team. It's no different then an unranked football team playing a high seed.
I agree with this but if you are a public school and are in a rural area competition is hard to find and in most cases the private schools are what is close by. Class D schools now have to travel quite a ways for competition even looking to bordering states.
Well deserved!
