State champion swimming and diving teams show off their skills, the starting center for the basketball team dunks a basketball and the volleyball team practices bumps and sets in the mezzanine next to juggling soccer players while the Black Eyed Peas' hit “Where’s the Love” blares in the halls.

It wasn’t a typical day in the halls of Saline High School, but rather a recent “lip dub” video shoot done to highlight the wide variety of activities -- video production being one of them -- and spectacular facilities at the school.

“It was pretty awesome,” said Saline athletic director Rob White, who is in the video beneath the Saline All-State wall. “It really highlighted not just all the great facilities and athletes at our school, but everything we offer.”

The idea of seniors Elizabeth Wenner and Lucas Romero, the video runs just over five minutes with nearly 300 students involved. Inspired by similar lip dubs that highlighted Calvin College and Grand Valley State University that video production teacher Nate Bush showed them, Romero and Wenner organized the shoot as an independent study over the last 12-week trimester.

“I was more the people person, got everyone involved and organized, while (Romero was) the mastermind of the technology,” said Wenner, who said the hardest part of the project was getting a bunch of high schoolers to show up. Wenner admitted she feared they'd get to the school on the day of the shoot and no one would be there.

One person they didn’t have any trouble securing was the basketball team’s starting center, Michael Smutny, who dunks as the camera enters the gym near the end of the video.

“The minute we said ‘dunk’, he was game,” Wenner said. While the finished product is a continuous, one-camera shot -- which Bush said is an unwritten rule of lip dubs -- Romero said there were seven cameras rolling, giving him plenty of footage for a “behind the scenes” compilation eventually.

Neither Wenner or Romero are included in the video.

“I’m purely productions," Romero said. "I hate being in front of the camera.”

BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS

The Huron boys golf team won its second consecutive Southeastern Conference Red Division and overall championship on Wednesday after taking first place at the league championship meet at Calderon Golf Club in Grass Lake.

Senior Alex Wunderlich was the medalist after shooting a 1-under par 71. Wunderlich along with, Keith Long (Saline), Rob Aldrich (Huron), Davis Ransdell (Pioneer), Luke Berger (Temperance Bedford), Connor Long (Skyline), Josh Bourque (Skyline) and Tim Combs (Temperance Bedford) made up the all-division team.

EAGLES WALK-ON

Willow Run senior Aaron Richmond signed a letter of intent this week to play football for Eastern Michigan. He’ll join the team as a preferred walk-on next season.

“I am very proud of him and the progression that he has made athletically and academically,” Rufus Pipkins said.

Richmond (6-0, 180) played nearly every position for the Flyers. He threw seven touchdown passes, ran for two and caught four. He also returned an interception for a score.

In different games, Richmond led the team in every offensive category and was instrumental in the Flyers advancing to the second round of the MHSAA playoffs for the first time since 1981.
