GVSU's Kellen Reed gives masterful final performance at Lubbers Stadium in win over Northern

ALLENDALE - Kellen Reed is a showman. The Grand Valley State wide receiver seems to have more fun with his touchdown celebrations than he does actually scoring the ball. Reed caught three first-half touchdown passes on Saturday afternoon as GVSU crushed Northern Michigan University 61-14 in front of 9,122 fans at Lubbers Stadium. “He comes up with new celebrations every week,” quarterback Andrew Schuster said. “He scores a lot of touchdowns, so that was a lot of fun to see him celebrate like that.” More: GVSU football snaps three-game skid with big road win over Roosevelt Reed, a 5-foot-10 senior from Holt, Mich., caught a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter and did a backflip in the end zone and finished with a Spiderman pose. Then in the second quarter, his 19-yard score carried his momentum toward the goal post. So he jumped on the post and gave it a bearhug. “That dude is a player,” backup quarterback Zak Olejniczak said. “And there’s going to be NFL scouts coming to look for him, I can promise you that.” Reed now has 78 catches for 1,242 yards and 22 touchdowns. He now leads the nation in all three of those categories

Calvin stuns Hope in Dutch-flavored rivalry showdown to clinch historic playoff berth

In the Netherlands, there is a wonderfully immodest saying: “If it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much.” On Saturday in western Michigan, two college football rosters overflowing with Dutch surnames provided a fairly convincing argument for the defense. Calvin University beat Hope College 38–24 in Grand Rapids,...

Sean Wesolek cements his place in the Hope post, following 'older brothers'

HOLLAND - The Hope College men's basketball team has a good blend in the post. Orion Yant is long and lanky, Kyle Blauch is big and strong, then off the bench, Sean Wesolek is in between - and can shoot. Wesolek, a sophomore center, saw time last season, but will be relied upon for much more. He had the best game of his career in Hope's 90-63 season opening win over Anderson (Ind.) on Friday, Nov. 6, at DeVos Fieldhouse. Wesolek totaled 10 points and grabbed three rebounds in 13 key minutes off the bench. "He is a good combination of the two. It is huge because he gets rewarded for doing things the right way," Hope coach Greg Mitchell said. "All he wanted to do last year was learn. He hung out with Kyle and Orion and just soaked it all up. His attitude and charisma allow him to find his potential. He will be ready every game because he has so much respect for the guys before him, which is really cool."

Holland Christian volleyball claims district title; Chix held off by No. 7 Hudsonville

JENISON - The Zeeland East volleyball team knew it could hang with No. 7 Hudsonville with a district championship on the line. In the second set, the Chix and Eagles went back-and-forth, neither team leading by more than two the entire set. Tied at 22, the Chix hit one into the net, then Hudsonville's Whitney Swiercz launched a rocket serve right into the top of the net, but its power pushed it over the net where it ended up on the floor for an ace setting up set point. Zeeland East's Lizzie Risdon put down a kill to pull the Chix within on but a kill from Hudsonville's Megan Glass closed the set out and propelled Hudsonville to a 25-18, 25-23, 25-17 win for the Division 1 district title on Thursday, Nov. 5, at Jenison High School.

The real Hope-Calvin football rivalry begins this week in undefeated clash

The introduction to the Hope-Calvin football rivalry has come and gone. This year, the real rivalry begins. The first two years, Calvin didn't have a home stadium and had the expected growing pains that any new program would face. Hope was also the dominant force in the MIAA which has led to a couple of pretty lopsided victories for the Flying Dutch. The rivalry will be different this year. Both teams enter the showdown 7-0, tied for first place in the MIAA after the Knights beat Trine 51-20 on Halloween and Hope similarly crushed Kalamazoo. The win over 6-1 Trine proved that Calvin is for real this year, not just beating mediocre teams. Now the Knights will host Hope for the first time in their very own stadium at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. Calvin passing attack It has been all about passing for the Knights, who put up 400 yards through the air to quiet the Thunder. They rushed for just 89 yards on 32 carries, but were able to pass at will. Thomas Vaccaro was 23-for-34 passing with four touchdowns. Hunter Hogan and Luke Michmerhuizen each had more than 100 yards receiving. That is a lot to defend.
