All-Macomb County Honors

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

We are extremely proud to recognize three outstanding student-athletes for earning All-Macomb County honors this season — a reflection of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence both on and off the field.

2nd Team All-County

Michael Orlando – Wide Receiver
Michael had an exceptional season as a key playmaker in our offense. His ability to stretch the field, make clutch receptions, and create big-play opportunities made him a constant threat to opposing defenses. Beyond his performance, Michael’s work ethic, leadership, and team-first mindset set the standard for those around him.

Ben Latona – Defensive Line
Ben anchored our defensive front with strength, toughness, and relentless effort. His ability to control the line of scrimmage, disrupt plays, and pressure opposing offenses played a major role in our defensive success this season. Ben’s physicality and consistency made him one of the most dependable players on the field.

Honorable Mention All-County

Luke Haugwitz – Linebacker
Luke was the heart of our defense, bringing energy, intensity, and leadership every time he stepped on the field. His ability to read plays, make key tackles, and lead by example made a significant impact all season long. Luke’s passion for the game and commitment to his teammates truly stood out.

These honors are a testament not only to their individual talent, but to the character, discipline, and pride they bring to our program every day. They represent our school and community with class, and we couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments.
