Sports

Where you learn that running far is fun – and not as hard as you thought!

Football has been a way of life for Seminary athletes since 1953.  Since that time, MLS has won 16 conference titles and one state championship.  We presently offer competition at the junior varsity and varsity levels.  All boys in grades 9-12 are welcome to join, even if they do not have prior experience playing football.

MLS volleyball is a fall sport and consists of a JV and varsity team. During the week the JV and varsity compete in conference and non-conference games with the JV playing first and the Varsity game following. On several weekends during the season, the two teams compete in different tournaments hosted by various schools throughout the area.

Boys Basketball

Michigan Lutheran offers boy’s basketball on the JV and Varsity level.  We have been very competitive over the last few years even though we are a class ‘D’ school playing in a class ‘B-C’ conference.  Last year we won the district title on our home court.

Girls Basketball

The Lady Cardinals play in the Tri-Valley West Conference.  Last year they finished as co-champs at 13-1 and were 21-4 overall.  They won the district but lost the regional final in double overtime.  Gracie Baumgartner became the all-time MLS scoring leader with 1,115 points and Coach Terry Vasold had his 300^th varsity win.

Since 1964 MLS has competed on the mats.  With 14 weight classes from 103 lbs. to 285, we try to involve as many boys as possible both on a JV and varsity level. The team is coached by Prof. Bode and Tutor Naumann.

In the spring, one of the sports offered is baseball.  At the present time we field a JV team usually made up of freshmen and sophomores and a varsity team made up of juniors and seniors.  We get to play between twenty and thirty games a season during the months of April and May.

MLS Softball has teams at both the J.V. and Varsity level. The Varsity plays 25-40 games a season including 2-4 tournaments. Some of our players have made the All Conference Teams, All Area Teams, and All State Teams. We are competitive even with some of the best teams in the state.

Track has a rich tradition at MLS. Our team competes in 16 different events  from sprints to distance running and from jumps to weight events. This    makes track a sport that is suitable for all athletes. We encourage a high rate of participation and our athletes, regardless of their ability, are given many opportunities to compete. The training received by our  athletes helps to keep them physically fit and has proven beneficial for athletes preparing for other sports, as well. Our varsity head coaches are Kathy Kock for the girls and Robert Schroer for the boys.
