Attention Middle and High School athletes! Plainwell and Otsego High Schools are joining forces to offer FREE athletic physicals for the 2023/24 school year to PMS and PHS athletes on Wednesday, June 7 at Otsego High School. Doors open at 5:00 PM - physicals begin at 5:30 PM. You must be in line by 7:00 PM in order to receive a physical. Forms are available online and in the athletic office (please bring your completed and signed form with you). GO TROJANS!


Congratulations to the PHS Varsity Soccer team on their 6-0 win against Otsego tonight in Districts! Next up, they will compete in the District Finals on Thursday (6/1) at 6:30 PM at Lakeshore HS! Let’s go Plainwell - Trojan Pride! ⚽️


In January, Plainwell High School started a Student Athletic Leadership Team (SALT). Coaches made recommendations of athletes in their programs that displayed leadership qualities and/or potential. SALT met 2-3 times a month where they identified four core values and guiding principles for all athletes/the entire athletic department to live by - passion, commitment, growth and leadership. The goal is to have all PHS athletes represent these core values with their actions and behaviors on and off the “field”.
Next year, the program will continue to look for ways to teach, model and recognize people who demonstrate these core values. They also want to grow the SALT program by providing additional leadership training and resources to the PHS athletes so they can support their peers on the field, court, course or arena!
A very special thank you to Ms. Preston and SALT for your dedication to Trojan athletics - Plainwell Pride!
