FHC Sports Report Presents: Senior Spotlight
Matthew Mahoney, Sports Editor in Chief
With the spring sports season being canceled by MHSAA, so many of our senior athletes here at FHC didn’t get their last season of high school sports. We know this is tough, so we wanted to reach out to these senior spring athletes with some questions in order to showcase our athletes. If you (as a senior spring athlete) have not received a message yet with our questions, feel free to reach out to me or Tommy at [email protected] and [email protected]
