How to nominate for Detroit Free Press Athlete of the Week
Understanding our Athlete of the Week nomination process, submission method and deadlines.
Forty five percent of high school student-athletes are playing multiple sports, according to MHSAA study,
Schools across metro Detroit have been recognized as “high achievers” for encouraging student-athletes to play more than one sport.
At 17, Drew Sikora signed a letter of intent to play college football, fulfilling a childhood dream. What helped him get there?
Playing basketball and running track and field.
Hitting the court helped Sikora’s hand-eye coordination and running track helped him with his speed on the gridiron. Those who lead the governing body for high school sports in Michigan want to see more student-athletes like Sikora.
Since 2016, the Michigan High School Athletic Association has surveyed hundreds of schools to learn how many athletes are choosing to play more than one sport. Turns out the percentage of athletes who are making that decision is growing steadily.
MHSAA’s annual survey reported that 45% of all student-athletes played more than one sponsored sport during the 2023-24 school year, compared with 43% during the 2017-18 season when the association started the survey.
The MHSAA started the survey as part of its effort to encourage athletes to play more than one sport to “prevent burnout and overuse injuries.”
It also strengthens athletic programs, said Geoff Kimmerly, the association’s director of communication.
“I think it’s helped athletic programs to thrive. You need help across programs, especially at smaller schools where you just don’t have as many athletes,” Kimmerly said. “But I think that at some schools, there has to be a philosophical move toward that. I think that’s what we’ve seen.”
High achievers
Sikora’s school, Gibraltar Carlson is among the survey’s high achievers — defined as “schools that exceed participation norms” — in metro Detroit, along with Hamtramck, Livonia Franklin, Warren Fitzgerald and Detroit Douglass. All have been in the top 10% in three different school years. Michigan Collegiate has been ranked in the top 10% for four years and Detroit Cody has been the most consistent for five of the six years.
“I think down here, it’s kind of a cultural thing to be involved,” Carlson athletic director Dan Kalbfleisch said. “My principal, my superintendent, really encourage our students to get involved in some way while they’re here. And so, once they get involved in one thing, they have fun and want to try other stuff.”
At Detroit Douglass, the state’s only all-boys public school, with an enrollment of 70, athletic director Pierre Brooks credits the students for their school’s success.
“I’m aware of that ranking, but I’m not surprised because being in such a small school, to me, it’s a true brotherhood,” Brooks said.
‘I believe that’s the culture we’ve built here …’
Over 68,000 student-athletes were accounted for in the survey. Fifty-five percent reported playing one sport and 32% played two at their school.
The combinations of sports varies but there are some trends. For boys, it’s football and basketball. Other sports include track and field, cross-country and wrestling. Girls tend to play volleyball and basketball, along with track and field, according to athletic directors.
Detroit Cody has nearly 600 students and offers 13 sponsored sports with the overall roster growing. The school started an Esports team in 2023 that has seven players and Cody is one of 18 schools that joined the Detroit Lions Girls High School Flag Football program this spring.
Antonio Baker, the school’s athletic director, said that “a large percent” of the student-athletes at his school are playing three sports throughout the school year to stay in shape, and that students play additional sports, in part, because of their coaches.
“Some of the coaches, they coach multiple sports, so the athletes move with the coaches from those sports, ” Baker said.
At Gibraltar Carlson, coaches serve as teachers, hall monitors and other roles for roughly 1,050 students.
“Can you build an environment at a high school where coaches collaborate and coaches support each other’s successes and coaches believe that a student-athlete can play multiple sports?” asked Kalbfleisch. “I believe that’s the culture we’ve built here in this building.”
A parent’s view
For Sikora, playing basketball and running track was really all about football.
“I know a lot of the skills and different sports transfer over,” Drew Sikora said. “Like, I know playing basketball is really helpful for a receiver of football. And then track helps a lot with explosive ability and all that stuff; and, obviously, helps with speed. So mostly, I’ve just been enjoying myself and supplementing for football.”
Sikora’s parents, Kent and Melissa, said all of that hard work added up to the moment he signed his commitment letter.
“It’s an opportunity for him to go be the best version of himself and go chase dreams that hopefully surpass everything that Melissa and I have ever done,” said Kent Sikora, 52, of Gibraltar.
It’s common for young athletes to specialize in one sport. Drew Sikora’s parents credit their son’s participation in football, basketball and track with making him a more well-rounded athlete.
“It helps him learn how to be a part of the team,” Kent Sikora said. Melissa Sikora added that her son avoided “pigeon-holing” himself.
That’s what DeMarko Thurman, a former Division 2 athlete, said he experienced when he played high school ball.
“I played basketball and I put all my eggs in one basket,” Thurman, 52, of Detroit, said. “But looking back on it … I totally regret not playing football. I kinda let my mom, (talk) me out of it, and then so it just kinda (became) tunnel vision with me.”
Thurman advised his 17-year-old son Jeremiah, who plays basketball, to branch out.
Jeremiah Thurman played a bit of football in middle school but focused on basketball. He didn’t get involved in another sport in high school until students at Detroit Douglass recruited him to participate in track and field. He was inspired by three seniors on the team who competed in the state championships.
“I saw an opportunity to learn from those guys because they were all really, really athletic,” Jeremiah Thurman said. He learned breathing techniques and leg exercises that he says improved his basketball skills. “I could definitely tell it was a difference. I actually felt a lot more athletic when I was playing track.”
But sports aren’t cheap. DeMarko Thurman, who works for the Ann Arbor school district, said he works multiple side jobs to cover the costs of in-season basketball and track and Amateur Athletic Union basketball.
“I have to work harder, too, in a different way to be able to support these things and at the same time, not set our family back,” he said.
Student-athletes will always specialize, athletic directors say, in hopes of getting noticed and playing at the next level. But the chances of becoming a professional athlete are slim, and playing different sports offers lessons.
“Play as much as you can and try as much as you can. Because you’re going to be coached by different people. You’re going to meet different kids. You’re going to be exposed to different backgrounds, and I think all of that is just so valuable to a kid growing up. … You’re gonna have to get along with different bosses,” Kent Sikora said. “You’re gonna have to get along with different employees and colleagues throughout your life. So I think that is the greatest lesson that you can learn by playing along.”

Supreme Court upholds Tennessee’s youth transgender care ban
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender minors in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines that stands to impact similar laws passed in roughly half the country.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender minors in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines that stands to impact similar laws passed in roughly half the country.
Rejecting a challenge mounted by the Biden administration, the high court ruled Tennessee’s law does not amount to sex discrimination that requires a higher level of constitutional scrutiny, removing a key line of attack that LGBTQ rights advocates have used to try to topple similar laws.
“Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the court’s six Republican-appointed justices.
The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices dissented, saying they would’ve held the law to heightened scrutiny.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the more exacting standard raises questions about whether Tennessee’s law would survive. She read her dissent aloud from the bench, which the justices reserve for emphasizing their strong disagreements with a case.
“By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent,” Sotomayor wrote, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Tennessee’s law, S.B. 1, prohibits health care providers from administering puberty blockers or hormone therapy to transgender minors when the medications are prescribed to help them transition. The law, which Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) signed in 2023, also bans gender-transition surgeries for minors, though that provision was not at issue before the high court. Providers who violate the law can face $25,000 civil fines for violations.
Three Tennessee families and a doctor originally sued, and the Biden administration joined them, asserting the law discriminated based on sex in violation of the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection.
The high court rejected that notion, instead siding with Tennessee. The state insisted the law distinguishes based on a treatment’s medical purpose, not sex, and the court should defer to the Legislature’s judgment about regulating medicine for children.
“This case carries a simple lesson: In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct,” Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the court’s leading conservatives, wrote in a separate, concurring opinion.
Tennessee’s Republican Attorney General, Jonathan Skrmetti celebrated the court’s ruling Wednesday, saying voters’ “common sense” prevailed over “judicial activism.”
“A bipartisan supermajority of Tennessee’s elected representatives carefully considered the evidence and voted to protect kids from irreversible decisions they cannot yet fully understand,” Skrmetti wrote in a statement following the ruling.
“The rapid and unexplained rise in the number of kids seeking these life-altering interventions, despite the lack of supporting evidence, calls for careful scrutiny from our elected leaders,” he continued later. “This victory transcends politics. It’s about real Tennessee kids facing real struggles. Families across our state and our nation deserve solutions based on science, not ideology.”
He added, “Today’s landmark decision recognizes that the Constitution lets us fulfill society’s highest calling—protecting our kids.”
Chase Strangio, co-director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, said Tuesday’s ruling “is a devastating loss for transgender people, our families, and everyone who cares about the Constitution.”
“Though this is a painful setback, it does not mean that transgender people and our allies are left with no options to defend our freedom, our health care, or our lives,” said Strangio, who, during oral arguments in December, became the first openly transgender person to argue before the Supreme Court. “The Court left undisturbed Supreme Court and lower court precedent that other examples of discrimination against transgender people are unlawful. We are as determined as ever to fight for the dignity and equality of every transgender person and we will continue to do so with defiant strength, a restless resolve, and a lasting commitment to our families, our communities, and the freedom we all deserve.”
The Biden administration was backed by various medical organizations and LGBTQ rights groups, Democratic attorneys general from 19 states and Washington, D.C., actor Elliot Page, roughly 160 Democratic members of Congress and the American Bar Association.
Tennessee’s defense was supported by 24 Republican state attorneys general, various Republican governors, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, a group of “detransitioners” — individuals who once, but no longer, identified as transgender — and conservative organizations like Advancing American Freedom, founded by former Vice President Mike Pence.
Trump’s Justice Department abandoned the Biden administration’s challenge to the state’s law upon taking office. But the new administration urged the Supreme Court to still decide the case, warning the weighty issue would otherwise quickly return to the justices.
Wednesday’s decision comes as the White House seeks to restrict access to gender-affirming treatments more broadly.
Trump, who signed an executive order in February to end federal support for transition-related care for minors, has also called for federal legislation to that effect, instructing Congress at a joint address in March to pass a bill “permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.”
In May, the Department of Health and Human Services broke with major professional medical organizations, which have said gender-affirming care for trans youths and adults is medically necessary, in an unsigned report that declared such interventions lack scientific evidence.
Hall of Famer Joe Thomas wows high school sports awards crowd

Joe Thomas has never been ordinary, but on Tuesday, June 17, the former Cleveland Browns great took time to be average.
It delighted the 750 in attendance at the 2024-25 Greater Akron-Canton High School Sports Awards to no end. The event took place at the John S. Knight Center downtown.
Here was the third pick in the 2007 NFL Draft and a first ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer taking time out of his day to speak at the banquet and meet each individual winner after their names were announced.
“It shows no matter how famous you are, people care deep down,” Manchester soccer player Olivia Pfahler said. “…It’s special to have someone famous like that just meet people from a little town in Ohio.”
Award winners: The 2024-25 Greater Akron-Canton High School Sports Awards show winners
If anyone can be labeled a hero, it’s Pfahler, who was born with a femoral deficiency that left her left side from the pelvic bone down underdeveloped. Pfahler also doesn’t have all the bones in her left foot and ankle.
None of that prevented her from becoming Manchester’s soccer captain and team MVP.
So here Pfahler was talking about how incredible it was to meet Thomas and listen to him speak after she won the 2025 Courage Award.
Joe Thomas’ humble attitude has been noticed for a long time
“I remember when he got drafted, he wasn’t at the draft because he was fishing with his dad,” said Louisville basketball coach Tom Siegfried, who won the boys coach of the year award. “I think from that point on I said, ‘This is a genuine guy.’ This is a guy that could live next door to you and is just somebody you can really look up to in doing the right thing. Maybe in a world that’s self-accolades, he’s a guy that I really think did it for the team and really did it for the all the right reasons.”
Thomas said as much to a crowd that hung on his every word when he lauded the three-sport athlete and told the 250 student-athletes in attendance that putting the team before yourself is the key to success.
“I think it shows the kids that high school football and youth sports are important,” Thomas said. “It’s worth sacrificing and dedicating yourself to. It’s the ultimate thing right now in our country that brings community together.”
Joe Thomas has always been one of the guys in Ohio
Walsh Jesuit’s Keller Moten, who was named the offensive player of the year in football, knows how extraordinary Thomas is.
The future John Carroll quarterback was given a Joe Thomas jersey when he was 2 years old and used to swing it around at games as a season ticket holder.
Several years later, on a trip home from Puerto Vallarta, the Motens boarded a connector plane in Dallas that Thomas was on. The Browns great snapped a picture with a 9-year old Moten.
“It’s just a testament to him and his character,” Moten said. “We’ve known this for a while about Joe Thomas. He’s a great guy. He is on a plane. He’s coming home, probably after a long trip, and he still took the time to meet me and sign everything. It just shows what kind of guy he is that he goes out of his way for the fans and understands it.”
Joe Thomas’ character impresses Greater Akron-Canton high school stars
Character was what everyone that met him talked about. If you took the stage as a winner, Thomas was waiting backstage to take a picture with you and his smile never faded.
Lake’s Daniela Scheffler was named the cross country, track and field, and overall female athlete of the year. That sent her backstage three times and each time she talked to Thomas the two conversed like they knew each other forever.
“I feel like I’ve met some really cool people like that and realizing that they’re just another person kind of gives you the confidence,” she said. “They’re just another person and I’m just another person, so anything that I put my mind to, I can accomplish. I think it’s important to have those role models in your life.”

DAY two of the Basketball Smiles camp brought both energy and inspiration as campers were provided with intense skill development sessions, along with an appearance by the Minister of Youth, Sports, and Culture Mario Bowleg.
The day kicked off yesterday at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium where the female group engaged in high-tempo drills focused on ball movement and defensive footwork.
Coaches emphasised communication and hustle, while players rotated through the indoor and outdoor courts, encountering drills that challenged both fundamentals and fitness.
The mid-day intermission allowed campers from the morning session to take a break as their session came to a close while being provided with light refreshments.
At this time, campers for the second session began to gather at the gym as they prepared themselves for the afternoon session.
The highlight of the day came during the afternoon session with the male group, when Bowleg addressed the campers. Drawing from his experience as a coach before becoming a minister, Bowleg spoke about keeping passion alive, how the game of basketball can change lives, and how important it is for camps like Basketball Smiles to exist for the youth of the Bahamas.
“It does great things for the youth,” said Bowleg about the benefits of having experienced and fundamentally trained coaches lending a helping hand to develop the youth in the Bahamas.
Campers listened intently as he shared personal anecdotes about his time coaching and stressed the importance of discipline to remain focused and stay on course.
“Coaching and development from coaches from the states help enhance the potential of kids in the Bahamas looking to pursue a professional basketball career,” answered Bowleg when explaining how having experienced coaches from the United States can impact young up-and-coming athletes looking to pursue basketball as a profession.
As the day wrapped up for the male session with a scrimmage, the energy remained high, and the message of Mario Bowlegs’ visit echoed through the gym.
With more surprises and competition ahead, day two set the tone of growth both on and off the court.

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. (WAND) – A youth sports complex was badly damaged due to strong storms on Wednesday afternoon.
Online pictures and videos of the Future Champions Sports Complex on Keely Street shows extensive damage to buildings around the park. Debris was scattered across a number of ball fields and several items tore down protective nets.
Storage and maintenance buildings across the street from the complex were also badly damaged.
A tornado warning was issued for the area around 11:45 a.m. as strong storms moved into Illinois from the west and southwest.
The National Weather Service will survey the damage later to determine the cause. It’s possible the damage was created by straight-line winds.
It’s unclear if there are any injuries following the storms in Morgan County. Attempts to reach the Jacksonville/Morgan County Emergency Management office were unsuccessful Wednesday afternoon.
Power outages reached at least 6,200 customers on Wednesday at 1:15 p.m., according to the Ameren Outage Map.
Severe storms in central Illinois spawned numerous tornado warnings. According to poweroutage.us, nearly 14,000 customers were without power in the entire state as of 1:25 p.m. Wednesday.
Storms have been producing small tornadoes, hail, damaging winds, and heavy downpours. The storms are moving quickly to the east and northeast.

Every day, either after school or throughout the summer, you can find 16-year-old Kyra Nelson at Portland Rock Gym in Beaverton.
She’s doing fingertip pull-ups. She’s climbing boulders. And she’s training, two to five hours daily, for the upcoming USA Climbing Youth National Championships.
Hundreds of the country’s best young rock climbers will be in Beaverton June 26 through July 2 for the national championship, hosted at Portland Rock Gym’s westside location. Top finishers will represent the U.S. at the International Federation of Sport Climbing Youth World Championships in Helsinki, Finland.
Roughly 650 youth athletes, ages 13 to 19, have already registered for the event, including 39 athletes from Oregon.
Among those hopefuls is Nelson, a sophomore at Horizon Christian High School in Tualatin. She took first place in bouldering at the Region 12 Regional Championships and third place in the Divisional Championships.
This is Nelson’s fourth year as a competitive rock climber and her first time competing at nationals.
“I’m a bit nervous because everyone’s going to be really good,” Nelson said. “It’s going to be the top 50 girls in my age, and they’re all going to be the best.”
Competitive sport climbing is broken up into three disciplines: bouldering, in which climbers reach up to 18 feet without ropes; lead climbing, which involves ropes and walls that rise some 60 feet into the air; and speed climbing, in which two climbers race to the top of identical 49-foot walls.
Nelson competes in bouldering. Climbers get four minutes to assess and climb a rock wall the highest they can. There are no ropes, and thick mats protect climbers from falls.
“You definitely want to be flexible, you want really strong fingers, and you want to have strong legs,” Nelson said.

Charlotte Wylde, 18 and a recent graduate of Portland’s Franklin High School, will be competing in her fifth youth nationals in lead climbing. Last year, she placed third at nationals and earned a spot on the U.S. team that competed at the 2024 world championships in Guiyang, China.
“ It would just feel nice to get into the same place that I was last year, and I think I obviously just want to finish out my youth climbing career on a nice note,” Wylde said.
As a young kid, Wylde loved climbing trees, streetlights, walls – all sorts of things, eventually prompting her poor mom to enroll her in a gym climbing program.
“What I really like is the fight or flight response that you get on the wall, where you can’t really climb down, but it’s really, really hard to go up, and you have to choose to fight a little bit,” Wylde said. “Even though it’s this excruciating and scary moment, it’s also just really beautiful when you choose to fight.”
Portland Rock Gym in Beaverton will host the 2025 USA Climbing Youth National Championships June 26 through July 2.Samantha Swindler/ The Oregonian
This is the first time Portland Rock Gym is hosting the youth national championships, and it’s happening at the gym’s 65,000-square-foot Beaverton location that opened last year.
“It is possibly the second largest of all the climbing gyms in America,” said gym owner Gary Rall. “It is certainly the largest in the Pacific Northwest, that’s for sure.”
Sport climbing has taken off since its start in the late 1980s.
Portland Rock Gym was the country’s second indoor rock-climbing gym when it opened its original location in 1988. (Seattle’s Vertical World was the country’s first when it opened in 1987.)
There are now 667 climbing gyms in the U.S., according to Climbing Business Journal.
“The first decade or so, it was pretty much 100% outdoor rock climbers just coming in the winter when the weather was foul and it got dark really early,” Rall said. “Now, 75% of all indoor climbers stay indoors, and only 25% of them go outside.”
The governing body for the sport, USA Climbing, was founded in 1998. Sport climbing first appeared as a discretionary sport at the 2020 summer Olympics. It will become a mandatory Olympic sport – meaning, part of the core offerings not up to the discretion of the host city – starting in 2028.
Portland Rock Gym now has two locations: one at Northeast 12th Avenue and Burnside in Portland, and the massive Beaverton gym just north of U.S. 26.
The Beaverton space has two yoga studios, a fitness studio, saunas and a rope hall with a 72-foot-long cliff wall climbers call “The Beast.”
“We look at this facility as an athletic club for climbers,” Rall said.
The amenities have drawn more climbers to indoor facilities, Rall said, but Nelson prefers indoor climbing for an even simpler reason.
“I don’t like bugs and spiders,” she said. “So, reaching my hands in the holds? I just don’t know what’s going to be in there.”
The public is invited to watch the USA Climbing youth championships at Portland Rock Gym’s Beaverton location, 10860 S.W. Barnes Road, starting June 26. Spectator day passes are $27 to $33 and can be purchased online via Eventbrite.
