BATTLE CREEK - We at the Battle Creek Enquirer have had our say. For decades, we have named an Enquirer Athlete of the Year, highlighting the local high school stars.
And we did that this week, with Lakeview's Lilamae Frank earning the ***** le of Female Athlete of the Year and Harper Creek's DJ Wood being named Male Athlete of the Year.
Starting last year, we also added the Battle Creek Enquirer 'Reader's Choice' Male and Female Athlete of the Year.
Candidates are 2026 graduates of the core Battle Creek city high schools. Most have shined in multiple sports throughout their high school careers. Basically, what we were looking for in terms of this list are athletes that played more than one sport, made all-city teams and/or enjoyed postseason success.

June has brought hundreds of commitments. Texas has landed some of the biggest.
Another blue-chip pledge in favor of the Longhorns went public on Saturday as Garland (Texas) Lakeview Centennial four-star cornerback Montre Jackson chose the in-state SEC program over Ole Miss and SMU live on the Rivals YouTube channel.
“Texas separated itself by just being really consistent, just maintaining that relationship with me the entire time,” Jackson told Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman about his decision.
Jackson, the No. 210 recruit and No. 25 corner in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, becomes the eighth blue-chip prospect to commit to head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff this month.
The Texas class now ranks 5th nationally, according to the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. The addition of Jackson vaulted it ahead of Texas Tech and Florida.

The Longhorns are one of the hottest teams on the recruiting trail this summer.
Texas bolstered its top-10 recruiting class with another key piece on Saturday, as four-star cornerback Montre Jackson declared for the Longhorns on the Rivals YouTube Channel.
Texas has been leading the way with the in-state target from Garland (Texas) Lakeview standout since diving into his recruitment headfirst this spring.
The Longhorns check all of the boxes for Jackson.
“Texas just feels like a home away from home,” Jackson told Rivals of his decision. “I just love the city … it reminds me of Dallas.”

Softball- Dexter and BC Lakeview tied 4-4 heading to the 7th.
