Cecelia Fuller and Jacob MacPhee Selected As March Student-Athletes of the Month

Posted on

Marquette Senior High School, along with Superiorland Kiwanis, are proud to announce that Cecelia Fuller (softball) and Jacob MacPhee (boys basketball) have been named as the Student-Athletes of the Month for March 2024.

Cecelia Fuller is a junior at MSHS and has been an instrumental leader on the much-improved MSHS Varsity Softball Team.

With the 2024 season marking Cece’s third as a member of the softball program, both she and her teammates are seeing their hard work and dedication pay off with a 7-3 start to the season, including a 4-0 showing at the Spring Swing Tournament that was held at the NMU Superior Dome in March.

In 31 plate appearances through 10 games this season, Cece has a batting average of .591 to go along with an on-base percentage of .710.  She has accumulated 13 hits, including 7 singles, 2 doubles, 3 triples and 1 home run to go along with 17 RBIs. As a pitcher, Cece has thrown 17.1 innings over 7 games (5 starts) for a 2-1 record.  During that time, she has a 2.019 ERA with 21 strikeouts.

In the classroom, Cece owns an impressive cumulative GPA of 3.86 and is a member of both the honor roll and National Honor Society. In addition to softball, Cece is also a three-year member of the MSHS Volleyball program with 2023 serving as her first on the varsity team.  This past winter, Cece was a regular volunteer at the concession stand during basketball games where she and her junior classmates raised funds for prom and other class initiatives.

Although still a year away, Cece has post-graduation plans to attend Michigan State University to study on a pre-law or pre-medicine track while also having an interest in a Spanish minor.


Jacob MacPhee is of junior class standing and elevated his game during his second season on the MSHS Varsity Boys Basketball Team to become one of the premier players in the region.

After the team went into the holiday break with a 3-3 record, Jacob and his teammates entered the new year with a renewed focus as they rattled off 17 straight victories en route to claiming the 2023-2024 Great Northern Conference (GNC) title outright with a perfect 8-0 mark.

Jacob’s on and off-court contributions to the team’s success this season can not be overstated as he turned in averages of 17.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in addition to being a team captain. It came as no surprise when he was named as the GNC’s “Player of the Year” and earned a spot on the All-U.P. “Dream Team”.

Jacob’s success this basketball season is mirrored in the other seasons of his athletics participation as a member of the MSHS Football and Track & Field teams. On the football field this past season, he earned All-Big North Conference First Team and All-U.P. Honorable Mention accolades as a tight end. On the track, Jacob is the defending GNC champion in the 400 Meters and earned All-State and All-U.P. honors as a sophomore last season.

In the classroom, Jacob owns a 3.17 cumulative GPA to regularly place him on the honor roll. He is also a three-year member of the MSHS Orchestra. With a year remaining to solidify a decision on future plans, Jacob plans to continue his academic and athletic career in college while pursuing a degree in exercise science.

Jordan Haynes and Desmond Mullen Selected As May Student-Athletes of the Month

Jordan Haynes and Desmond Mullen Selected As May Student-Athletes of the Month

Posted on

Marquette Senior High School, along with Superiorland Kiwanis, are proud to announce that Jordan Haynes (softball) and Desmond Mullen (baseball) have been named as the Student-Athletes of the Month for May 2022.

Jordan Haynes is a senior at MSHS and has concluded a fantastic four-year career as a member of the MSHS Softball program.

As a four-year member of the Varsity Softball Team, Jordan is an experienced leader within this year’s group and is leading by example.  She has been a solid lead-off hitter throughout her career and that is showing through this year by leading her senior class with an on-base percentage of .443.  She has a career batting average of .343 with 47 hits and leads her class with 33 doubles during her tenure in the softball program.

In the month of May, Jordan leads the team in plate appearances with 30, while carrying a .367 batting average, an on-base percentage of .387 and a fielding percentage of .833.

In addition to softball, Jordan has previously been a 2-year member of the girls basketball program and is a 3-year member of the MSHS Redmen Chorale.  Jordan is an academic standout as well with a 4.08 cumulative GPA to make her a regular on the honor roll and member of the National Honor Society.

Outside of school, Jordan enjoys fishing, camping and playing guitar.  Her post-graduation plans are to attend Northern Michigan University to pursue a business degree with an added minor in psychology.

Desmond Mullen is part of this year’s senior class and is putting the finishing touches on an excellent athletics career by participating as a member of the MSHS Varsity Baseball Team.

After playing baseball in little league and then taking some time away from the sport, Desmond returned to the diamond as part of this year’s varsity team and has excelled both at the plate and in the field.  In his 15 games played this season, Desmond has 51 plate appearances that have resulted in 15 hits, 6 RBIs and 17 runs for a batting average of .349 and an on-base percentage of .451.  His play this season recently saw him earn All-Great Northern Conference Second Team honors.

In addition to baseball, Desmond is also a four-year member of the MSHS Football Program and two-year member of the MSHS Wrestling Team.  After his senior season on the gridiron, which was his third as a member of the Varsity team, Desmond was rewarded for his play as both a running back and defensive back by being named All-State Second Team (defensive back), All-U.P. “Dream Team” (defensive back) and All-Great Northern Conference (running back and defensive back).

Desmond excels in the classroom as well with a 3.71 cumulative GPA to consistently put him on the honor roll and included in the National Honor Society.  Outside of school, Desmond volunteers time assisting with Special Olympics.  In February 2022, Desmond signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Michigan Tech University, where he will participate as a member of the Huskies’ Football Program beginning next fall.
