If you're playing against Angie McGinnis and her volleyball or basketball teams, watch out. Angie expects both of those teams to make it into the final four spots of their leagues. And if she's right about that, it's certain that this senior will be a key part of those successes.

Angie grew up watching a cousin play volleyball and that got her hooked on the sport that she now calls her favorite. She's a setter who's already made a commitment to take her volleyball skills to the University of Florida for the 2004-2005 season.

She'll probably study business at Florida, but for now, Angie's favorite classes are psychology and math.

Adam Nuckols runs track, wrestles, and plays football for Waterford Mott High School. So what's his favorite sport? Adam told us that he loves hitting people in football - it's his favorite.

But this week's scholar athlete is no bully. Adam spends time working with children when he's not engaged in some sort of athletic competition or academic pursuit. As part of the Mott Mentors Program, he goes, each Thursday, to work with young kids on their math and writing skills.

This hard-hitting football player is also in the school choir.

Adam enjoys his English classes and is thinking about studying engineering in the future.

"Nothing else matters when I'm playing tennis." That's what Elizabeth Angotti told Don Shane about her favorite sport. Elizabeth plays number one doubles for Dearborn's Fordson High School and while she's spent 4 years on the varsity tennis team, she has also played volleyball and run track.

Elizabeth says that it is a combination of sports and academics that keep her on track. Her tennis coach, John Forster says that this scholar athlete "has that drive that not a lot of other players have."

When asked what she wanted to do after high school, Elizabeth talked about interest in medicine and in engineering before declaring, "It's all good."

Milan High School

Now on her way to the University of Michigan, Lindsay Caldwell will be missed by her teammates and coaches at Milan High School.

She is a volleyball, softball and basketball player who will admit to being a bit competitive. In fact, she calls softball her favorite of those sports because it allows her to get outside and because it is just such a competitive sport.

Lindsay played a big part in Milan High School's first district championship softball win this season. She's a catcher who came out on top of a big home plate collision.

She will study kinesiology at U of M, where Lindsay says she may also play intramural sports.

Stephanie Harris, of Dexter High School, is a star on and off the field. She plays both tennis and golf and loves them both. But, she says tennis is her passion. For someone who played neither sport until her freshman year of high school, Stephanie is impressively good.

Having just graduated high school, she heads to the University of Michigan where she will study political science. Stephanie would like to one day be a diplomat for the United Nations. Through high school she loved language classes like German and French.
