Nothing small about the play of Zeeland East's undersized middle hitter, who heads to Calvin
ZEELAND - Bri Cole is easy to overlook. She isn't the best player on her team, nor is she the tallest hitter on her team. In fact her own setter is taller than her. But the 5-foot, 7-inch Zeeland East middle hitter quickly makes opponents pay for overlooking her. "A challenge for me is being underestimated just by my height. But after I stuff a 6-2 girl, I've caught people's attention," Cole said. "I love the position with its different hitting spots and lateral movements. Although I can end up running all over the court and ending up in some awkward spots, I wouldn't change it for the world." Cole has had some huge blocks on some of the state's best hitters this season, showcasing her leaping ability to go along with her net skills. Those moments caught the eyes of colleges and Cole decided to stay close to home and join perennial NCAA Division III powerhouse Calvin University in Grand Rapids.

Grandville football upsets Howell after surviving brutal schedule
Taking some beatings early this fall is finally paying dividends. Grandville (5-5) barely snuck into the playoffs after playing the second-hardest strength of schedule among Michigan’s 493 teams. That included facing state powers Muskegon, Detroit Cass Tech, East Kentwood and Hudsonville in consecutive games to open the season. Considering Cass Tech (10-0) and East Kentwood (10-0) are the two best teams in the state right now, that’s impressive. Especially playing them in back-to-back weeks. But iron sharpens iron, as they say in the high school football business. And that brutal schedule prepared Grandville for the Division 1 postseason. More: Subscribe to our high school football newsletter DJ Hardiman rushed 15 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns, Jayce Hopewell added 21 carries for 114 yards and three TDs and Grandville upset Howell, 38-30, in the district opener Friday, Oct. 30. Grandville not only earned the right to face Portage Central (9-1) in this week’s district championship, but also claimed bragging rights as the first eighth seed to beat a No. 1 seed under the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s new playoff format, which seeds the entire region instead of just individual districts. “There were times we looked at our schedule,
