In response to COVID-19, the MHSAA made some changes to the requirements for 2020-21 athletic seasons, most notably, waiving the pre-participation physical exam for students who have previously had one done.   Any student with a valid physical exam dated on or after April 15, 2019, will only need to fill out the health questionnaire that

It is important for our student-athletes to pay attention to their health and well-being.   The loss of spring sports has only magnified the fact that you only get so many opportunities to participate in interscholastic athletics, therefore, sitting out because of an injury that may have been prevented is worth the precautions needed to avoid

Prior to schools closing on Friday, March 13 the athletic directors from the Central States Activities Association (CSAA) met with representatives from three other conferences (West Michigan Conference, Lakes 8, and O.K. Silver) to highlight what we offer both our student athletes, as well as our students in general.   The CSAA is an “activities” conference. 

Week two is in the books and we had a total of 30 student-athletes log-in to PLT4M (list is below).   This is an increase of nine from last week.  We are happy we are making progress, but we all know we can do better!   There were more student-athletes this week who visited PLT4M multiple times,

For the three  fall sports teams remaining, this is a big week.  The varsity boys soccer team and varsity girls golf team have completed their 2019 campaigns, leaving the varsity football, varsity volleyball and varsity cross country teams.  This is the final week of the regular season for football, while volleyball has one more week,

It was week like no other in the history of Kent City Athletics.   It started on Monday with both cross country teams winning their respective CSAA Silver Jamborees (on campus) and a non-league varsity boys soccer win at Ward Memorial Field.  Then on Tuesday, the varsity volleyball team annihilated Lakeview in three straight sets while

Although we had to make some adjustments, Homecoming 2019 turned out to be great week for Kent City High School. A testament to our students, the amount of enthusiasm and creativeness throughout the week was admirable. Students did a great job with the dress up days, competed in the spirit games, and turned out in

What’s that old saying, when life gives you lemons . . . make lemonade?  Well in the world of Kent City Athletics, and in Michigan in general we have an abundance of lemons.   In case you have not heard, there has been an outbreak of the Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) that began in the counties

Growing up in a small town certainly has its advantages.   Friday night’s football game was a prime example of the tight-knit community we are living, working, and growing up in.   Prior to kickoff the varsity football team sponsored the 5th annual Military Appreciation Night.  Both teams greeted the military men and women before our pre-game
