win the conference championship. Traverse City Central returns a lot of talent
and Petoskey and Traverse City West should be good, too.

coach - tim omalley
accomplishments The Cadillac girls were 4th in the Big North Conference, with Brittney
Smith earning All-Conference 1st Team and Emily MacLean earning All-Conference 2nd Team.
The team finished 5th in the Division 2 regional meet. Haylea Smith finished 12th overall in the regional meet and advanced to the D2 State Championship meet. Haley finished 114th in a field
of 248. The Boys won three large-school meets during the season. They placed 5th in Big North
Conference and finished 11th in the Division 2 regional.
returnees For the girls, our senior returning leaders are Katelyn Erickson, Hannah Ludviksen,
Jillian McNitt, Kaitlyn Monfils, Jessica Netzley, and Cassie OHagan. Returning juniors are Kate
Buckmaster, Paige Fiet, Jessica Geeseman, Abby Hearth, Savana Holmes, Brittney Smith and
Haylea Smith. Sophomores with one year racing experience are Brooke Costello, McKinsey
Crozier, Caitlin Dietlin, Mary Erickson, Katelyn Goodrich, Rachel Green, Shannon Metzger, Darcy
Naugle, Emily Smith, Haley Swiger, and Haley Willis. On the boys team, seniors Nathaniel Dietlin,
Jerome Jones and Caleb Mitchell are back to lead the team. Juniors Kyle Pike and Jered Holland are also back as upperclassmen. Sophomores are Evan Chilcote, Timothy Coffey, Conner
Jackson, Noah Peltier, Rhys Seward and Devin Taylor.
newcomers A large turnout of freshman girls includes Brittany Byers, Brittany Cunningham,
Kristin Goodrich, Theresa Inchou, Mollie Mockler, Breanna Parker, Erica Peterson, Kendra Phillips,
Shayanna Rossell, Abby Wetherell and Jennifer Zuniga. Also joining the team for their first season
are senior Cassie OHagan, junior Madison Lux, sophomores Analynne Klotz and Carissa Mitchell.
On the boys side, we also have a good turnout of incoming freshmen that includes Matthew
Brines, Timothy Carlington, Brandon Eller, Zach Elmore, Grant Fiet and Brendan Hambright.
strengths The number of athletes on the girls team has been growing consistently for a
number of years and we expect to have up to 40 or more runners ready to toe the line for the
first invitational. With only one varsity runner graduating from last years team, the team is experienced, deep and determined. We also expect a number of the newcomers competing for varsity positions. The team is coming into the season with a positive attitude and high expectations.
Their experience, strength in numbers, summer training and support for each other provide all
the ingredients for success at our scheduled invitational races, the tough Big North Conference
and the D2 regional. The boys team is young, but returns four of our 2014 varsity runners. Last seasons JV runners and a number of newcomers will have to step up to varsity positions and run well
for the team to meet its goals. They have been logging the training miles this summer to be ready
to compete. With the new additions, it will take a few early season races to sort out the varsity
line-up. There will be adjustments to our strategies as the new teammates gain experience and
develop. Practices have been hard and intense this year, and the boys are demonstrating the
ability to do the work and meet the increased expectations. They will be prepared to a make a
push later in the season in the Big North and regional meets.

multiple positions. We will be working with a new setter this year so that will open up the
options for us to run a 6-2 offense. The girls are used to running a 5-1 so that will be a huge
change for us this season.
style As a team, we are working on improving the passing game within our defense.
This was something that they struggled with last year as a team.
conference Leland is always a tough competitor so it is always a top pick but Kingsley
is a tough team, too.
goals The girls struggled with confidence last season but greatly improved their record.
Goals this year will include bettering the overall record and making a strong appearance
in post-season play.

coach - ken wicker

returnees Girls: Kirsi Wildfong, junior - Kirsi has been a state qualifier the last two years. I expect
her to be very competitive this year. Abby Wicker, junior - Abby has been working very hard this
summer and is ready to step up and have a good season for us. Lauren Beeman, senior and Megan Wilke, sophomore - both girls have put in a lot of work this summer and will round out our top
five. I am really looking for these girls to step up this year. Boys: Denver Cade, sophomore - Denver
is an outstanding runner. He was all-state last fall and has set his goals high for this season, as well.
Graham Spitzer, sophomore - I am excited to see how Graham runs this fall. He has been working
hard this summer and I expect to see a lot of improvement this fall. Nathan Klaus, senior and Brock
Beeman, sophomore - Nathan and Brock will be much improved this season and will be a key to
our team success.
newcomers Girls: Samantha Wicker, freshman - Samantha has the potential to be very good.
If she can adapt to the longer race, she can be very competitive. Boys: Ridge Beeman, freshman
- Ridge is an outstanding talent. He was very good in junior high and I believe he can continue that
success this year.
strengths We will have a full girls team with five solid runners. Our top runners will be very competitive. I like this group of girls. They work hard and are fun to work with. Boys: We are very good
with our top three runners. If we can develop our top five, we can be very competitive. Its up to
them how hard they are willing to work.
working on To start the season we will continue to work on building a strong fitness base that
will carry us throughout the season. We always try to use our early season to increase our mileage,
continue our strength routine and add speed work that allows us to race fast at the end of the
season.
conference girls - Benzie Central and Kingsley. Boys- Benzie Central and Frankfort. If we can
find a solid fifth runner, we could be very competitive and challenge for a top-three finish.
goals Every season is the same for us. We will define success by our improvement throughout
the season. We strive for all our athletes to reach their full potential. We want to compete in each
meet and have the best team finish possible.

strengths We return all of our core skill group. Our young men are very athletic and have a tremendous work ethic.
working on We will need to continue to grow up quickly on our offensive and defensive lines.
style We hope the experiences of last year will help this team grow and become better football players and young men.
Completing games with only 14 players last year was difficult. We were proud of our young men for working through a difficult
situation. We hope those experiences pay off for us this year.
goals Our team goal is to compete for the conference championship in the toughest football league in northern Michigan. In the immediate sense, all of our focus is on White Cloud and week one. We are working to get better every single day.

strengths Our major strength is TEAMWORK. The girls have really been
working well togetherhelping each other out with the new rotations and
defense.
working on Our philosophy this year is Back to Basics. We will be working a lot on technique. Technique with everything from service, passing, setting, hitting, blocking, offense and defense. If you get back to the basics with
technique, it will become a habit for the girls and with a great habit, comes
great things.
style We will be running a 5-1 offense and a rotational defense. The 5-1
offense allows us to have solid hitters more often as well as big blocks. As for
the rotational defense, the girls will be able to cover more area.
conference I see Beal City as the strong contender for the conference.
They have a very solid program and work well together. There could be a lot
of sleepers...give me a few weeks to get these girls going and it might be us.
goals Success this season is defined as: #thevision - Doing the right thing
the right way. Building together, working together, relying on each other. Being an example for fellow players as well as fellow classmates. We are working together to be a better community!

strengths Should be strong on defense and due to lack of numbers, we should be very well-conditioned, too.
working on We need to see where we are at offensively and how
that will take shape. We are working a lot on team ball possession. It is
very important we are able to maintain possession of the ball as much

as possible.

possession team that will be strong defensively and look for the counter
attack with speed up front.

watch in the conference with Harbor Light Christian or Bellaire also possible contenders.

strengths Leadership will be huge. We have a big senior class that is ready to take the next step as a program.
I feel our offense will be more explosive as we have had
another year in the system. We have been able to add another dimension with run reads and a more advanced pass
game. Our defense returns a lot of starters, our entire defen-
sive backfield as well as the linebacking crew return except

for one. We will try to be explosive, and be the toughest
team on the field week in and week out.
working on Furthering our knowledge of the playbook.
We want to play fast both offensively and defensively. That
takes a lot of work and preparation. We also want to grow
as a coaching staff, and continue to get better.
style We like to play fast and fly around. We really stress
the idea that a team and a community are a family. We will
play until the last whistle as hard as we do at the first.
conference We set the bar high. Our goal is to be competing for a conference championship. Other teams that
will be at the top are Beal City, Pine River and McBain. I also
think Lake City could take some strides. They were young
last year but have gained experience. They are also well
coached so they will be prepared.

girls finished 9th at the State Finals and the boys 11th out of
the 140 schools.
returnees The boys graduated five seniors, which
makes our returners even more important. Leading the
charge for the boys will be juniors Brock Wright, Andrew Everett Ryan Grondyke and Joey Beehler, along with sophomore Zach Flint. Our girls team graduated its largest group
of seniors ever. Those eight girls were the heart and soul of
the team. However, we have a nice group of freshmen that
are eager to leave their own mark on the program. With
11 returning girls, including our top four varsity girls in Bailee
Kimbel, Tori Moffit, Emily Flint and Autumn Federowicz
newcomers Graduation hit our boys team very hard.
We have to find some bodies to fill the holes left behind
from graduation. So far weve picked up Jacob Cergnul
and Hunter Rosted and still working on a couple others.
The girls team has many new faces and several looking to
make an impact right from the start of the season. Junior

Angelica Parker is retuning from Interlochen Arts school.
Her freshman sister Ashley and their cousin Julia Parker are
also looking strong. With the additional return of Grace
Musselman, our girls team will be loaded with talent again
this year.
strengths Our boys team has many athletes whose
focus is actually other sports. The word has gotten out how
much cross country helps improve athletic performance
in basketball, wrestling and track. Our strength is their overall athletic ability and strength. This will really help reduce
the amount of running-related injuries since they are true
overall athletes. Our girls team strength will be our depth.
Well have 6-8 girls that could be the No. 1 runner on most
of other teams. With their competitive spirit and the fun we
build into practices, theyll all be attacking at every race.
Weaknesses Fun. All athletes runthose that enjoy it will
continue improving.
conference Beal City has won back-to-back Division 4
state championships. Until someone beats them, they are
the favorites but dont count us out.
goals As a coach I define success as having fun and
improving, both as both a team and as individuals. However the athletes have another goal in mindSTATE FINALS.
We salute the Manton Rangers

strengths Team speed is a big asset for us this year. We
have tremendous team speed at the skill positions. Also, we
have great team chemistry for this year. Our kids have and
continue to push each other to make themselves better.
working on The one thing that we will be working on the
entire season is exceptional execution of the schemes.
style On offense, we are a spread football team that will
throw the ball much more than normal high school football
teams. We are no-huddle and will thus be exciting for fans to
watch. On defense, we are an even front team that will utilize
our size and speed to create problems for the opponents.
conference Every team in the Highland will be strong this
year. There will be no weeks that we can take for granted.
However, Beal City continues to the team to beat. Even
though they have a new coach, they return a tremendous
amount of talent. Evart is well-coached and will be much-improved from last year. Pine River continues to have excellent
athletes and will be strong again. McBain has a new coach
and will be utilizing new schemes but will be big and strong as
always. Manto has many good athletes coming off a good
season last year. They will be a challenge for sure.
goals Our goal is to be competitive in every game and
look to get back to the playoffs. It is our expectation to be
back playing at the level that Lake City football is accustomed to be playing at.

newcomers We have a large JV team we are keeping for the point of
bringing some players up throughout the season. Our key players for this year
are all the returning seniors and juniors. We are very heavy on returning players
this year.
strengths I believe our strength this year will be our front row hitting. We
came alive with our hitting toward the end of last season and I believe we
will continue with that. Our serving has always been a great strength for our
team also.
working on As a team, we will be working on passing as well as every
aspect of the game to get us to the top where every coach would like their
team to be.
Team bonding will be the No. 1 thing the first couple of weeks; getting the new
players comfortable with the returning players.
style When our fans come to our games they will see strong serving as
well as strong and aggressive hits at the net. They will see girls that put forth 100
percent each and every set to complete the match. Our fans will see unity on
the floor as well as off the floor.
conference McBain is always a team we have a hard time with, along
with Beal City.
goals Our team goals this year will be to play the hardest we can and give
our best each and every match. I have strong returning players this year and
I feel as though we are ready to move forward in the conference. I feel confident in my players that they will give their all to reach their individual goals as
well as a team goal. Im looking forward for the season to begin.

strengths The boys will pack run well this year. The Lin-
derman boys and Jon Larkin run together and quite often
finish within seconds of each other. They are looking to add
at least two more teammates to that group on a consistent
basis. The girls will have a couple of super-driven athletes
that will push the others to excel. The girls may be more
strung out although they may also have a couple of runners close to the top. They are quick to get back out on the
course and encourage their third place through seventh
place teammates to finish strong.
working on Moving the boys pack up closer to the
front. The teams will work on pushing themselves at every
single meet so they can achieve the goals they have set for
themselves by the end of the season.
goals It is always a goal to do well in the conference.
Both teams are looking to see what they need to do in order
to finish in the top half or higher. Being in the top 15 at regionals is always a goal of the athletes so they could qualify
for state.
Best of
luck

strengths Marion is a small close-knit community. Our athletes work together in many
sports. This allows for our volleyball team to know each others athletic skills. Teamwork is one
of our greatest strengths.
working on This season we have been focusing on creating intentional movements on
the court. Our emphasis this season will be on ball control and agility.
conference The Highland Conference is a very competitive one. McBain has been a
consistently solid team. However, Lake City is looking strong this year as well. At Marion we are
building our program, but we have been working hard this summer and hope to be tough
conference competitors.
goals Winning comes in many forms. It can mean winning games and/or achieving goals.
Every year our goal is to do better than we did the previous season. This year we will define
success by competing at our highest ability and by increasing our serving percentage while
growing our confidence in serve receiving.

earn Academic All-State honors at the Class
D State meet; Kinzie and Kylie Sikkema both
earned D4 Academic All-State Honors, All-Conference Honors, All Area Honors; and Anissa Keeler earned All-Conference Honorable Mention
returnees Boys: We are returning the core
group from last years team. Those runners are:
Parker Johnson (12), Jared Deighton (11), Garret Melvin (11), Isaiah Keeler (11), Joe Fisher (11),
Hunter Pollington (11) and Dallas Swinehart (10).
They are a great group of guys who looking to
make some significant improvement over last
year. Girls: The key returnees on the girls side includes last years state qualifier, Kylie Sikkema (11).
newcomers Boys: This years newcomers are
John Anderson (11), Trenton DeBoer (11), Robert
Hubble (10) and Jacob Chamberlain (9). While
there is a little bit of running experience in the
group, for the most part we are looking forward
to see what these guys can do in cross country.
Girls: Our newcomers on the girls side includes
Anna Ferman (11) who will bring some success
from last years track season as a member of
our school record 3,200 relay team, and Tashawa Switalski (9) and Haley Miller (9), both bright
spots from last years junior high team.
strengths Our boys team will be an interesting mix of experience and inexperience.
While we have some relatively new runners, we
also have some runners who have run for a few
years and have really put in a lot of work this
summer. I believe they are ready to make the

jump. Our success as a team will really depend
on how well they make the jump and who steps
up to fill our fourth and fifth spots. While we once
again dont have a lot of depth on the girls side
we do have some very dedicated runners who
have put in the summer miles. Last year, we did
as well as we did in the conference because
our top runners placed well. It looks like we are in
a similar situation this year, but with a little more
inexperience. The leadership of our veterans to
help our younger runners come of age quickly
will play a key role in our team success.
working on We always stress the importance of taking care of your body, working hard
at what you do, and believing that you can accomplish the things that you always thought
you couldnt do. I have kids that are running distances they never thought they would be able
to do. Next, itll be their times.
conference Id have to say Evart for the
boys and Manton for the girls. Both teams have
an accomplished group of returning runners
and are adding a few more talented freshmen.
Beal City is last years state champs and even
though theyve lost some to graduation, Ill bet
they will be tough as well.
goals As always, our goal is to qualify for the
state meet. Being a little guy in the always-strong
Highland Conference, our goal is to make it into
the top three. Beyond that, we want our kids to
grow by accomplishing the things that they always thought they couldnt do. Mostly I hope
that happens in their running but I know well
celebrate in other ways this year too.
experience Boys: one senior, 7 juniors, two
sophomores and one freshman. Girls: two juniors

strengths One of our greatest strengths will be our ability to attack the ball at the
net and behind the serving line. I am also encouraged by how the team plays so well
together, and has good communication. This is crucial as we get used to a new setter.
working on Offensively, our new setters are working hard to connect with the hitters. Although we have a quick libero, our defense needs some work, and that is something our team is committed to improve.
style Our game philosophy is to pass well so we get the ball to our hitters. Secondly,
our team is committed to staying positive and being flexible. We are not able to be in
our high school gym this year due to construction of our beautiful auditorium, therefore
our team will be traveling a lot. We want our fans to see a fast-paced game with great
hits and serves. We will also have a lot of team spirit and positive communication.
conference Beal City always puts together a great volleyball team, and Lake City
looked really strong at Ferris State University this year during camp. We will not underestimate any team in the Highland.
goals Our teams goals are to work hard, give 100 percent in practice and games,
be positive with our teammates, and have fun. We are looking for 40 wins, three invitational trophies, a district win, and a conference championship.

returnees Boys - We have 10 boys currently out with no seniors. Returning is No. 1 runner and all-conference junior
Brendan Sutton. Also returning are top five runners: junior Logan Taylor, sophomore Eli Nelson and sophomore Gray
Vandervelde. Girls - We have 11 girls currently out with one senior. Returning is senior and No. 1 runner and all-conference Carrie Long. Also returning juniors Riley Vandenboss, April Vanklopenberg, Molly Bronkema, and Lucy Rees.
newcomers Newcomers are freshman Keegan OMalley, Caleb Dodde, David Rick, Chase Pylkas, Noah Proctor, and Andrew Roby, Ashley Schierbeek, Klaudia OMalley, Grace Brunick, Alexis DeYoung, and junior Kara Mosher.
strengths We are young and are working on pack running. Our depth should be much improved this year. If we
can get our pack time down to a minute or less we will be competitive.
working on Team spirit and pushing each other to reach our goals. We need the leaders to step forward!
conference Boys - Evart has been the team for distance running and this year should be no change in that. I
expect McBain boys to push them. Like every year the conference will be competitive. Girls - Beal City is returning
conference champs and state champs. However, they lost key runners to graduation. The girls race should be open
to three or four teams. Our depth may put us in there.
goals Our goals are the same every year! Win the conference, qualify for the Finals, and each runner is to improve
themselves.

newcomers Senior Cody Farr brings athleticism, but very little soccer experience to the team; Freshman Tanner Mulder,
Caiden Platz, and Grant Pogue bring offensive skills, while fellow freshman Drew Krick, Spencer Quist, Jared Towers, and
Ryan Yahner look to make an impact defensively.
strengths We have some players that can shoot missiles; we have endurance; we will play hard from the opening
whistle to the final whistle.
working on We are really working to develop our touches, to know where teammates are and where they are going.
We have many talented underclassmen that need to get experience playing with the upperclassmen.
style I hope they see a team that encourages its members to be their best. I hope that they see a team that plays
hard, that passes and shoots well, that communicates well, that plays tough defense, and that plays smart soccer. Above
all, I hope that they see a team working together as an act of worship. If we can do those things, the year will be a success.
conference Gladwin only loses two players from a team that dominated the South in winning the division last year.
Houghton Lake should also be tough in the South. Bellaire has won the North (and also the conference championship) the
last several years and would be the favorites to do so again. Roscommon and Cheboygan may also be tough in the North.
goals I usually measure success by looking primarily at growth. If we grow as a team, and if players grow as individuals
in their skill level, in their personal life, and spirituallycertainly that is success. As for winning, if we are able to win the games
we should win and can win a few games that we shouldnt really win, that also is a success. Also if we can play the way we
hope to play (see above), the year would have to be considered a success. I have coached long enough to know better
than to allow winning percentage to define success.

definite strength throughout the season! The team is responding well to a new coach and they all have great attitudes!
working on We need to get comfortable with each other and rely on our smarts to be a force this year!

so if theyve been a quiet team in the past that will be different this year! We will be strong and aggressive in the front row,
being creative in our attacks! Also expect to see solid passers!
conference I honestly think itll be an interesting dynamic in the conference this year...Im not sure that there is a top

strengths I feel like we have very good team speed that will help on the

working on We lost a lot of experience in our backfield so many players are
working to iron out our motion and responsibilities.

offense to push the pace and break big plays on a regular basis. On defense,
we want them to see a lot of great effort and 11 players flying around on the
field.
conference Beal City is the favorite until someone can beat them. I think
Manton could be a potential threat because of their athleticism.
goals Our team goals are all about improvement. Because many of the
players were part of last years team, we would like to improve on the success
achieved last fall. More importantly, though, we are aiming at improving on a
weekly and daily basis so that we are able to be the best version of ourselves on
the last night of the season.

strengths We have pretty good speed and strength. Our kids have worked very hard
this year in the off-season. They past few years have prepared our kids for success with regard to the mental approach.
working on We cant become complacent. This is a new team and they must create
their own identity. Team chemistry will be a major factor. We also have to prepare very hard
to get our team ready from a physical and conditioning standpoint.
style Boring...so they say. We want to establish the running game and play extremely
sound TEAM defense. Hustle and effort is very important to us.
conference The CSAA Gold continues to play very good football and has been represented very well in the post-season. Every week is a challenge. Chippewa Hills and Newaygo have been extremely solid programs and are well-coached. Grant could be a sleeper.
goals Play our best football every day.

strengths The team should be do fairly well offensively. On offense is where the Coyotes
have a fair amount of the teams returning talent.

working on The Coyotes will always be looking forward to progressing defensively as a
team. They will be leaning on returning players Taylor Cornell and Tyler White to anchor and
direct the back line.
style We hope the team possesses the ball much more this year and will have much
more of a balanced attack, one that can come from multiple different ways rather than just
the middle of the field.
conference The conference is wide open and is a tricky one. Tri County, Big Rapids and
Grant are probably the heavyweights. The district last year consisted of six teams from the
conference, and the conference winner lost in the district final to the third place team in the
conference. Anything could happen on any given night.
goals We first are looking to do well in the classroom. Our number one goal will be to get
back to earning an Academic All-State award. After that we look forward to the opportunity
of making noise and competing for a conference and district title.

returnees Katherine Ketner, sophomore,
should be the teams No. 1 runner. Joelynn Gamble-Brown, a junior, was the teams top runner
last year. She is nursing an injury and will return in
a couple weeks. Hanna Ondrus, a sophomore,
made a strong showing at the end of the season and will be one of the top runners this season. Devin Willard will be another contributor and
she is a sophomore. McKenzie Cornelius, a senior,
should be the No. 1 or 2 runner this season. Boys unknown who is returning for sure.
strengths The team usually has a very little
conflict. Teammates get along well with each
other.
working on The team is building numbers
and recruiting boys.

tough, as well as Fremont and Grant.
