Gaylord Olympian Winter Vinecki to skip 2026/27 season

Gaylord native and U.S. aerial skier Winter Vinecki announced she is skipping the 2026/27 season to prioritize her health and recover from ongoing injuries. The 27-year-old athlete did not receive medical clearance in time to safely train for the upcoming World Cup schedule after undergoing a neck operation earlier this year. Vinecki shared the update on social media, explaining that stepping away from competition is a vital step for her long-term future in aerial skiing. The pause comes after navigating multiple physical challenges in recent years while competing at the highest international level. Vinecki chose her team after more than a decade with the national program. “After 11 years on the U.S. Ski Team, I have had to make the incredibly difficult decision with my team not to compete this winter,” Vinecki said. Despite enduring physical setbacks over the last three years, Vinecki has remained a top performer in her sport. She is a five-time individual World Cup champion who placed second in the overall Aerials World Cup standings for the 2023/24 season. In January 2026, she secured a victory in Lac-Beauport, Canada and later placed sixth at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. While she will miss the

Michigan High School Athletic Association Referees Are Top-Tier

You always hear about how the game was lost, and it was all the referee/officiating officials’ fault. The fans and losing team will cry and complain and blame the officials, but never blame the fact that their team fumbled three times, couldn’t make a basket, never got a shot on goal, or actually violated the rules. In today’s society just as it is in many daily occurrences, everything is always someone else’s fault. But that’s not true.

Charlevoix graduate Luke Snyder thriving on 8-2 Butler team

INDIANA - Luke Snyder has navigated a college football career defined by perseverance, geographic challenges and physical injuries. Hailing from Charlevoix, Snyder spent 5 seasons at Davenport University, where he served as a senior team captain before transferring to Butler. Growing up in Northern Michigan, Snyder recognized early that local athletes needed to take deliberate extra steps to compete at higher levels. “I always knew that you had to take extra steps coming from, I mean, coming from Charlevoix, it’s the competition,” Snyder said. “Is there a difference? I can see the talent difference. But at the end of the day, it’s really just about how bad you want it.” To gain exposure, Snyder traveled extensively during his youth with his father and brother, making annual trips to Louisiana for the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La. He also attended camps at IMG Academy and events in Ohio to measure his progress against elite prospects. “I went to all different camps just to get exposure and to sort of gauge where your level of competition is at versus other kids and how you stack up,” Snyder said. “And I think that’s really important for young athletes coming out of Northern

“Fire Kyle Whittingham”: Dave Portnoy Unleashes on Michigan HC After Embarrassing Loss to Michigan State

Michigan’s season hit another low point, and frustration among Wolverines supporters is becoming hard to ignore. Following a 15-6 home defeat to Michigan State, Barstool Sports founder and outspoken Michigan fan Dave Portnoy called for head coach Kyle Whittingham and offensive coordinator Jason Beck to be fired. Michigan State entered the rivalry matchup with no Big Ten victories. However, the Spartans stunned the Wolverines, leaving Michigan with a 5-4 overall record and a disappointing 2-4 mark in conference play. Portnoy did not hold back, taking aim at the coaching staff and questioning whether Whittingham was the right person to lead the program. “Fire Kyle Whittingham. Fire Jason Beck. This is the lowest, most embarrassing Michigan Football has been in my lifetime. What an absolute joke of a football team,” Portnoy wrote on X. Fire Kyle Whittingham. Fire Jason Beck. This is the lowest most embarrassing Michigan Football has been in my lifetime. What an absolute joke of a football team #Goblue https://t.co/3GffHFVfA2 — Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) November 8, 2026 In a lengthy video, Portnoy argued that the coaching staff was primarily responsible for the team’s struggles and insisted that the players should not be blamed. He questioned Whittingham’s leadership and

Petoskey boys match best-ever finals finish in top 5, St. Michael top 10

BROOKLYN — There are always so many scenarios of how things can go at an event as big as the cross country state championships . With nearly 30 teams and over 250 runners all looking to push themselves harder than they have all season, competition for spots is intense. But the Petoskey boys cross country team prepared themselves all season long for that kind of environment. And, on Saturday at the Division 2 state finals at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, it paid off. The Northmen matched their best-ever team finish at the state championships with a fourth place D2 ending amongst some tough teams. Petoskey was one of a handful of teams out of the area that impressed, along with the Charlevoix boys in Division 3, the Petoskey St. Michael boys in Division 4 and a host of individuals. Harbor Springs’ girls, Mackinaw City’s boys and the St. Michael girls also earned top 15 state finishes. For the Petoskey boys, who received a parade welcome through downtown in their return, the three teams ahead of their 185-point finish came as East Grand Rapids (152), Holland Christian (159) and Pinckney (160).

Charlevoix runs 'normal' day to pull off second straight state title

Note: This story can't run in print until the Thursday, Nov. 12 edition due to no print edition for Veterans Day on Wednesday Nov. 11. BROOKLYN — The Charlevoix boys cross country team knew the predictions. Even as a defending state champion in Division 3 , the odds from a well-known Michigan running website weren’t great. “They gave us a 2% chance to win it all,” Charlevoix coach Doug Drenth said. “Some of the guys knew it going in, we didn’t talk about it, but they saw it.” Charlevoix’s group might have known about it entering Saturday’s Division 3 state championship race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, but paid no mind to it. They always believed, 2% or not, and that belief was all that mattered for that largest collection of runners in attendance that could already call themselves state champions. Now, they can change that to two-time Division 3 state champs. “I’d say it was a surprise, but the guys believed they could do it,” Drenth said. “I’m grateful for this group of guys. Like last year, we always believed. A lot of people doubted us. A lot of people thought, throughout the year, thought we were outside
