They are the finest Michigan has to offer. This section is special to us at the Free Press because it honors those who will lead our state and nation. These pages profile some amazing young people who are our hope for the future. Each year we ask each scholar-athlete to tell us about what they plan to do with their lives. They write about their dreams and goals.
Some goals are simple.
Mattawan's Loren Scheu wants to play golf at Pebble Beach while Warren Mott's Matt Sucaet aims to play at Augusta National. There are some scholar-athletes we would like to avoid professionally. Bradley Beverly of Burton Bendle will enter law enforcement and would like to end up on a SWAT team. After becoming a certified public accountant, Yale's Rob LePla wants to work for the Internal Revenue Service. We would like Montrose's Jeremy Cochrane to begin his life's pursuit as quickly as possible.
