3 - 2025 MHSBCA awards

4 - state champions & runner-up

5 - PBR 2025 commits & some college rostered player

*MPR note: MPR is a ranking system that COULD be used for seeding playoff teams. The biggest issue I see is that not all results are reported to the MHSAA. Whether this is done thru lack of staff or to “stay under the radar” or just “why bother” I do not know. However, if coaches want seeding, then it is necessary to have accurate information. So coaches - you choose!
