The Munising boys tennis team had quite a memorable season last spring. The Mustangs finished in third place as a team at the U.P. Finals meet and had three state champions; one from a singles player (Ashton Wymer) and two from a doubles flight (Kane Nebel and Carson Kienitz). Munising has a first year head coach in Corinne Hoffman, but she is hoping to help lead the Mustangs to a similar result this year.
The U.P. Football All Star Game organizers officially announced rosters last month; and three area players were honored by having their names called to take part in the event. The annual contest, which features some of the top seniors in the upper peninsula, will take place at the Superior Dome at Northern Michigan University on June 22, at 1 p.m.
