​We compiled a list of the Enquirer Player/Athlete of the Year across several spring sports within the city and surrounding area high school programs. After presenting our selections, we invited your input through the Battle Creek Enquirer poll. Once the voting period concluded, your decision was revealed. The “Reader’s Choice” Player/Athlete of the Year for each sport, as determined by that sport’s deadline, is now available. In a recent highlight, Harper Creek celebrated at home plate after Allyson Govier slugged a home run during the 2026 All-City Softball Tournament at Bailey Park on Saturday, May 9.
