By now you’ve heard of Desmond Morgan, and if you’ve attended a Holland-West Ottawa contest this year then you have surely been a party to the punishing hits that he delivers on a play by play basis. These hits and amazing tapes that Desmond racks up weekly are drawing Division [...]

Two top WM big men head to local schools

Two top big men in West Michigan hoops from 2010 have committed to local schools.  Shane Tiemeyer of Zeeland West and Austin Elling of Hudsonville. Tiemeyer signed with Cornerstone University. The 6-11 center joins former teammates Derek Kingshott and Bryce Semple on the roster and succeeds former Zeeland West standout Matt [...]

What does the future hold for Lakatos?

Forest Hills Central pitcher Alex Lakatos has already thrown a no hitter this season and is feeling more comfortable then ever out on the mound. In Lakatos’ no hitter he threw for 19 strikeouts, 16 of which were in a row against Grand Haven. Like most high school seniors Lakatos [...]

Rockford's Ryan Majerle makes up his mind

WMA just received the latest of what is to date a three part series examining the decision making process of Rockford guard Ryan Majerle as he determines where he will attend college.  For context, read part-1 and part-2 here.  The third part is a note from Majerle himself, saying in no [...]

Rockford's Ryan Majerle opines on UWGB vs. Toledo

Last week I wrote an article speculating on the collegiate future of Rockford’s Ryan Majerle, after he was seen snooping around the Toledo campus.  He had previously verbally committed to play at the University of Wisconsin Green-Bay, so his presence on campus was clearly noteworthy.

Updated: WMich HS football signings

Perhaps more so than any other part of high school sports, collegiate recruiting has  a massive amount of mainstream appeal (if you subscribe to either Rivals.com or Scout.com you know what I’m talking about).  I can certainly understand the interest it receives, as there’s really nothing like the thrill of [...]

WMA takes attendance: ahh, signing day

A look around the wide world of high school sports and the web that covers it.  Well, not the whole world, mostly just the distance between Lake Michigan and somewhere-in-the-vicinity-of-Lansing, give or take about 50-miles.  In an order wholly indecipherable to the naked eye.  So look closely: Feb. 1 Michigan [...]

Cornerstone recruiting: Another one, and another one, bite the dust

As player after player has fallen to the mighty BB gun of collegiate recruiting, the list of potential roundballers available to target has become progressively slimmer. Another one bites the dust.  Two, actually. Chalk up two direct hits for Cornerstone University, who landed two gems on Thursday in Wayland’s Wes [...]
