MLive Introduces New Poll to Recognize Standout Spring Athletes in the Kalamazoo Area

On Monday, April 29, 2024, Mattawan baseball swept Forest Hills Eastern with scores of 5-2 and 10-7 at Davenport University. The scenes from the games displayed the team’s hard work and determination on the field.

As spring sports season comes to an end, MLive is introducing a new poll for readers to vote for the standout athlete from each grade level in the Kalamazoo area. Starting next week, we will be featuring four different star athletes showcasing talent from different age groups.

The first edition of the poll will feature seniors, with nominations for deserving athletes that can be sent via email to mehler@mlive.com along with player stats and accolades that support their recognition. Throughout the season, our Athlete of the Week winners have been highlighted, including Martin softball sophomore Alley Bacon and Schoolcraft softball senior Lauren Evans. Stay tuned for more athlete spotlights in the weeks to come.
