Athlete of the Week is an initiative coordinated by Athletic Directors at School Districts within our central market. The program recognizes student-athletes who have exhibited exceptional performance, leadership, and sportsmanship during the week. The commitment and positive approach demonstrated by the selected students provide a model for their peers. Weekly, representatives from Hartland, Holly, Lake Fenton, Linden, and Fenton gather to vote on the top athlete in each sport. ChoiceOne Bank is honored to sponsor this enduring tradition, which has highlighted the achievements and dedication of student-athletes for more than thirty years.

Mady Behnke, Linden - Girls Lacrosse

• Madeline Behnke exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated athlete, teammate, and friend—both on and off the field. Since earning a spot on varsity as a freshman, Mady has consistently demonstrated an unmatched passion for the game of lacrosse and a commitment to excellence that sets her apart. At the start of the 2026 season, she has already made an impact with over 10 draw controls, setting the tone early for another outstanding year. While her talent on the field is undeniable, her success is not simply a result of natural ability. It is driven by her relentless dedication, grit, and genuine love for the sport. Mady can often be found outside of practice, putting in extra time to refine her stick skills, shooting, conditioning and draw controls—always striving to improve. Her growth as a player is evident in her performance. At the end of the 2024 season, Mady recorded 75 ground balls, 19 caused turnovers, 30 draw controls, 7 goals, and 2 assists. By the conclusion of her sophomore season in 2025, she made tremendous strides, finishing with a career high of 50 goals, while surpassing 100 career ground balls. Beyond the stats, Mady is a leader, a positive influence, and a true competitor who elevates everyone around her. She has helped her team so much by the number of offensive assists included. Her work ethic, attitude, and love for the game make her incredibly deserving of Athlete of the Week recognition.

• Aiden had a standout performance showing his impact all over the field. Offensively, he found the back of the net twice, using his speed and awareness to create scoring opportunities and finish under pressure. On the defensive side, Aiden was just as impressive, forcing two caused turnovers with well-timed checks and smart positioning. He also battled hard for multiple ground balls, giving his team extra possessions and helping control the pace of the game.
