Updated on 02/05/2025

This winter, Greenhills partnered with Cranbrook Kingswood to form a co-operative team in the sport of boys skiing. While the Greenhills contingent is small - currently at 2 - success has come with it! Junior John Sadrack and sophomore Ben Bernstein competed in the CHSL Championships this past Monday, both finishing in the top 20. Sadrack medaled in both Slalom and GS (Giant Slalom), an excellent showing ahead of MHSAA regionals. Next week's MHSAA regionals will take place at Alpine Valley, where athletes will have a chance to qualify for the MHSAA state meet at Boyne Highlands.The co-operative agreement with Cranbrook lasts two seasons, giving Greenhills a chance to gauge interest and determine if there would be support for the growth of the sport on a long-term basis.Girls Basketball Wins Overtime Thriller to Close Out Spirit WeekOnce again, the girls varsity basketball team relied on a fourth quarter comeback to force OT.

Girls Basketball wins Overtime ThrillerLast Friday, Girls Varsity Basketball headed to Cranbrook in a pivotal CHSL matchup. After falling to the Cranes a week prior, Greenhills needed to secure a win in order to strengthen their standings and bid for a CHSL playoff appearance. Things didn't look great at halftime, with host Cranbrook ahead 17. While Greenhills was able to cut the lead down to 14 to start the fourth quarter, it still appeared a longshot to complete a comeback. While the Gryphons kept battling, they still found themselves down 9 with only 2 minutes to go. Sophomore Libby Schuster got the comeback going, hitting a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 6 with 1:40 left. Schuster would add another bucket with a minute to go, bringing Greenhills within 2. Freshman Quinn Maldonado would go on to hit two free throws to tie that game at 49 with 10 seconds to go, forcing OT.The Gryphons would have to come from behind again, in overtime. Cranbrook grabbed a 4-point lead with 3 minute

Fall season is winding down for the Gryphons with Girls Swim and Dive in their final home stretch. The Gryphons eye a conference championship this weekend at Kettering High School in Waterford. Not only will a CHSL title be determined, but it will be the last chance to earn state cut times for the Gryphons. Several swimmers have already made the state cut, meaning there will be a bevy of representation at the MHSAA state championship meet next week, which takes place November 22 and 23 at Oakland University. While swimming is going strong, two other varsity programs completed their seasons in the past two weeks.Cross-country sent two individual girls (Addi G ‘28 and Janaan R ‘26) and the entire boys team, thanks to a top-3 finish at Regionals, to the MHSAA State Meet at Michigan International Speedway.

Cross Country on to States!Last Saturday, the Greenhills Cross Country team competed in Algonac for the MHSAA Regional Championship in a meet full of drama and personal records. On the girls side, the Gryphons were once again led by Addi G ‘28. Addi set a personal record of 19:35.2, good for a fourth place overall finish. Junior Janaan R ‘26 also earned a top-20 finish for Greenhills with a time of 21:09.1. Both Addi and Janaan qualified for the State Championship meet this Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. As a team, the Gryphons scored 177 good for a tie for third with Almont. Unfortunately, Almont earned the tie-breaker to be the third and final team to qualify for states. With no seniors on the roster, Greenhills will return all seven varsity runners next season with high expectations. On the boys side, four personal records and a season-best from senior captain Mason S ‘25 propelled the Gryphons to a third place finish and a team-qualification for the State meet.&n

In real time, it would have been difficult to identify the moment that would eventually propel Greenhills Boys Tennis to their 16th state championship. To start Saturday’s MHSAA Finals, Greenhills found themselves with an uphill battle. Six Gryphon flights were alive to start the day and every match would play a crucial role in earning points towards the state title. The margin of error was razor thin with #1 ranked Cranbrook and #2 ranked Detroit Country Day represented in the semifinals in each flight Saturday. After semifinals completed in the morning, Greenhills found itself needing to all-but-sweep the five flights where they were still alive. One-singles Teddy Staebler advanced to Saturday’s semifinals, along with all four doubles flights. The improbable feat looked unlikely within the first 20 minutes of Championship Round Play. One-doubles tandem of Kabir R ‘25 and Will P ‘27 found themselves down to top-seeded Detroit Country Day five games to zero. Greenhills would
