ONE OF THOSE PROUD COACHING MOMENTS🥹
As coaches, we spend so much time focused on the season in front of us that sometimes you have to look back and appreciate what former players are doing after they leave your program.
These four graduated from Airport just a few months ago, and now they’re already competing and making an impact at the college level.
Payton Toth | Huntington University
Four starts, 3 goals and 2 assists, including the game-winner against Lawrence Tech last night.
Nolan Ortega | University Michigan-Dearborn
Already getting on the scoresheet, scoring the opening goal in yesterday’s win over Manchester.
Nolan Sanders | Madonna University
One of only a few freshmen on a varsity roster filled with experienced players and international talent from Brazil, Germany and Japan. He’s already appeared in 3 games and is earning quality minutes on a top WHAC conference side.
Olivia Bucki | Tiffin University
Gaining valuable experience, finding her form and continuing to develop while competing at the NCAA Division II level school in the GMAC.
Kelly Rodak | Ferris State University
2025 Airport graduate now entering her sophomore year at NCAA Division II Ferris State. Kelly continues to develop and represent Airport in one of the region’s established DII programs competing in the GLIAC.
Wins and championships are always special, but watching players you coached earn opportunities beyond high school and seeing them take advantage of those opportunities is one of the most rewarding parts of coaching.
They all took different paths to get there, and their journeys are only beginning.
Proud of these five Jets. Keep going. ✈️🥹💪🏽
