Fowlerville High back to Class B in sports competitions for next school year

Senior Spotlight--Brandon Booth By Carley Eades

“Brandon Booth is a great student with a compassion for helping others and has a huge heart and smile,” said paraprofessional Kari Mayville. Booth transferred to Webberville schools in first grade from Swartz Creek. Booth is the son of Mickey Robertson and Tina Robertson. He has two older sisters, Stephanie Robertson and Heather Leland, an older brother Dustin Robertson, and younger brother Curtis Robertson who is in 7th grade, also attending Webberville Schools. “Brandon is very good about identifying academic goals for himself and then working very hard to reach those goals,” said teacher, Tiffany Wright. “I will miss his leadership in our classroom.” Booth has been a part of Capital Area Career Center in Mason, MI for two years studying and worked for Peckham and the Webberville FFA. In Booth’s spare time he likes to work, hunt, fish, spend time with friends and most importantly with his family. “I have been good friends with Booth for about 12 years,” said fellow senior Max Crandall. “The best memory I have with Booth is hooking a sled up to my mini bike. If I had to describe Booth in one word it would be a friend, because we have been friends for such a long time and I just like hanging out with him.” After Booth graduates he’s not sure if he plans on attending college right away but knows he will be working. “I am mostly excited about this year because it is over as we know it and I can start the new chapter of my life,” said Booth.

Classifications for Michigan High School Athletic Association elections and postseason tournaments in traditionally classified sports (A, B, C, D) for the 2013-14 school year have been announced. Fowlerville High School will be going from Class A back to Class B. Classifications for the upcoming school year are based on a second semester count date, which for MHSAA purposes was February 13. The enrollment figure submitted for athletic classification purposes may be different from the count submitted for school aid purposes, as it does not include students ineligible for athletic competition because they reached their 19th birthday prior to September 1 of the current school year and will not include alternative education students if none are allowed athletic eligibility by the local school district. After all the counts are submitted, tournament-qualified member schools are ranked according to enrollment, and then split as closely into quarters as possible. For 2013-14, there are 756 tournament-qualified member schools and 189 schools in each class. Effective with the 2013-14 school year, schools with 893 or more students are in Class A in MHSAA postseason tournament competition. The enrollment limits for Class B are 429-892; Class C is 207-428; and schools with enrollments of 206 and fewer are Class D. The break between Classes A and B decreased 18 students from 201213, the break between Classes B and C decreased 20 students, and the break between Classes C and D is 10 students fewer than the current school year. The new classification breaks will see 24 schools move up in class for 2013-14, while 20 schools will move down.
