Congratulations to the Highlanders who were named GMC Athletes of the Week!
Brecken Hilsinger Football Soph
Brecken was 6/6 on Extra Points, he also had 2 touchdown saving tackles on kickoffs. He is a multi-sport athlete this fall, playing both soccer and kicking for the football team; then on to basketball in the winter and track in the spring. His character, work ethic and consistency is great for our team.
Brady Kornmann Football Sr.
Brady has stepped in and taken over our punting. He averaged 37 yards a punt vs Hamilton, which helped our team obtain favorable field position. Brady is also a 3 sport athlete.
Cade Sauer Boys' Golf Soph
Cade shot 74 at OHSAA Sectional Miami Whitewater and qualified as an individual for OHSAA District at Pipestone GC 10/6.
Maddy Mueller Girls' Soccer Sr.
Maddy had an impressive week, contributing 2 key assists to help lead the Highlanders to another victory. Her transition from an outside forward to an outside back has been seamless, and she continues to play a vital role in both the team’s defense and attack. Maddy consistently supports the offensive push when needed while also excelling at shutting down some of the top attackers in the region.
Lucy Schutte Girls' Cross Country Soph
Lucy has had an outstanding season so far as a strong #2 runner for the team. She placed 2nd at the Princeton Invitational and 4th at the Sycamore Invitational last week, setting a personal best of 19:32 this year. Currently, she is ranked #9 in the GMC and 19th in the Southwest Region. Lucy is a natural leader, showing up to practice every day with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. She is extremely coachable, embraces every challenge, and has made significant improvements in strength and performance over the past year.
Lexi Holzbacher Girls' Golf Jr.
Lexi had a phenomenal performance in our Southwest District Sectional Tournament at Walden Ponds! She shot 10 strokes below her average to place as the 4th individual out of 88 golfers! In the one-day event, she had 2 birdies, 9 pars & 4 bogeys. With this performance, she qualified to move on to the State Semi-final: Districts!
Adrianna Combs Girls' Golf Sr.
Adrianna has been our #1 golfer throughout this season, consistently carrying the lowest average on our team. Last week, at Sectionals, she placed 10th overall, out of 88 golfers, and qualified to move on to state semi-finals: Districts!
Emily Hoog Girls' Volleyball Sr.
Emily, senior captain, earned 56 assists, 10 aces, 17 digs and 3 blocks to help lead her team in a 2-0 week.
