On Tuesday, June 4, we will be taking the 2018-2019 edition of the Champions’ Picture at Kent City High School.  In its fourth year, the Champions’ picture is an opportunity to celebrate the success from year in Kent City Athletics.  Members of the teams who won championships throughout the year are encouraged to attend for

It should come as no surprise that the weather cancelled games on Saturday and pushed our schedule into another week. This year’s weather as a whole has been anything but cooperative. Every season (fall, winter, spring) has seen cancellations due to weather. The weather has not stopped us from having a great year though. There

On Wednesday, I did something I have never done before, I attended the Meijer West Michigan All-Star Meet at Reeths Puffer High School in Muskegon.   I also made my three kids attend as well, because like I told them as we were piling into our car, this will be the last chance you will have

I want to wish all of the moms out there a happy Mother’s Day.   Nobody plays a bigger role in the world of athletics than mom’s.   I know I owe my love of sports to my own mom.  Not only did she support me and my sisters in all of our athletic endeavors, she also

The varsity softball team got sweet revenge against Hesperia tonight with two come from behind wins in a home double header.  The Eagles won 5-4 and 9-8.  In the first matchup, Alyssa Larson took the mound and got the complete game win, allowing 7 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 2.  The Eagles took their

The Kent City varsity softball team extended its current win streak to 5 by sweeping Morley Stanwood in a home double header.  The Eagles won both games convincingly, 16-1 and 15-0.  Alyssa Larson continued to dominate opposing hitters, facing only 11 batters in the three-inning affair.  She struck out 4 and allowed 0 walks, throwing
