In 1999, the year 10 Things I Hate About You came out, I was in sixth grade. It was the first teen movie I ever saw, and also the one I watched the most growing up, being the movie of choice for countless sleepovers and birthday parties. For us early millennials, Gil Junger, Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith’s take on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew was our introduction to high school life, fashion and relationships.

David Goricki The Detroit News Published 6:52 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 Battle Creek — Top-ranked Grand Rapids Christian put an end to Pontiac Notre Dame Prep’s 54-match winning streak, slowing down Miss Volleyball Maddy Chinn to earn its first state championship with a 25-19, 25-18, 25-21 sweep in the Division 2 title match Saturday afternoon at Kellogg Arena.

But, it was Grand Rapids Christian’s 5-foot-9 senior outside hitter Maria Bos and 6-foot sophomore outside hitter Addie VanderWeide who stole the show.
