Neal Krentz – Lahser High School (baseball): No pitcher was hotter the last week of the season than Bloomfield Hills Lahser’s Neal Krentz. In three appearances on the mound, he went 15 innings, striking out 17 batters, only allowing three walks and had an ERA of only 0.40. He did it against some strong competition; all three had 20 or more wins. At the plate he reached base with hits in all three games.
Taylor Morrissey – Berkley High School (Baseball): Berkley wrapped up its strong season with a 10-3 win over Groves on Tuesday and a 7-3 win over Lathrup on Monday. Morrissey was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBIS in the win against the Falcons. Against Lathrup, he was 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs.
Lisa White – Seaholm High School (soccer): Lisa White did it all season in net for the Seaholm varsity girls soccer team. In the Maples' regular season finale, she had 10 saves in a 4-0 win over Holly to pick up her sixth shutout of the season.
J.D. Hess – Seaholm High School (lacrosse): J.D. Hess was a key performer for the Birmingham United boys lacrosse team in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday to help his team advance with a 16-7 win over Saline. The senior had four goals and two assists.
