Along with attaining its 27th state team championship in its 48-year history, the Flint Metro League made its presence known at the MHSAA state finals in bowling and wrestling by sending 9 boys and 6 girls to the individual bowling finals and 23 boys to the state individual wreslting finals.  

Kearsley's Hannah Ploof won the individual state championship in Division 2 bowling the day after helping the Hornets to their third consecutive team championship.  Hannah joins her sister Lindsay as a state champion, as Lindsay claimed the crown in 2011.  Teammate Alexxa Flood made the state quarterfinals before bowing out of the tournament.

Three of the nine league boys bowling finalists made it to the afternoon tournament for the individual championship.  In Division 1, Swartz Creek's Chase Kaufman was eliminated in the quarterfinal round.  In Division 2, Kearsley's state team runner-up was represented by Bryce McKerchie, who bowed out in the quarterfinals, and Chad Stephen, who made the individual final four before elimination.

At the MHSAA individual wrestling championships, eleven wrestlers from the Flint Metro League made trips to the medal stand in ten weight classes, all in Division 2.  Leading the way was Brandon's Bryan LaVearn who finished second at 140 pounds.  Teammate Brendan Ladd was third at 130 pounds, and Linden's Dawson Blank was also third at 145.  Other league medalists included Clios' Chase Smith (5th at 160), Kane Williams (5th at 189) and Drew Hutchinson (6th at 112); Holly's Jimmy Gray (5th at 215), Colton Cleaver (7th at 152), and Mitch Nelson (8th at 125); and Kearsley's Dylan Terrance (7th at 160) and Andrew Ruhstorfer (8th at 103).

The Kearsley girls' bowling team captured their third consecutive MHSAA State Championship with a 1249-1111 championship match victory over Jackson at Super Bowl in Canton.  This also marked the fourth state championship in the last five seasons for the Kearsley girls as they won the 2012 title as well.
Kearsley earned the top overall seed following the morning qualifying round.  They first faced eighth-seeded Warren Regina in the quarterfinals where they cruised to a 1210-1008 victory.  In the semifinals, the Hornets faced Bay City John Glenn, who they defeated by a 1223-1079 score.  They then faced top-ranked Jackson in the championship match.  The Kearsley girls came out firing in the two baker games shooting a 199 and 217.  This gave them over a 100-pin lead going into the one regular game. Jackson shot 849 to the Hornets 833 but the sizable lead from the Baker games enable Kearsley to win by a comfortable margin 1249-1111.
The Hornets are the first school in Flint Metro League history to win three consecutive state championships in a sport.  Congratulations to Coach Ploof and team members Alexis Roof, Karlee Griffin, Emma Boychuk, Barbara Hawes, Kayla Ward, Alexxa Flood, Hannah Ploof and Mary Wheeler on an incredible accomplishment!

Kearsley's boys' bowling team fell just short of their own three-peat, finishing as state runners-up to Lansing Eastern 1444-1288.  Starting the afternoon as the second seed after the morning qualifying round, Kearsley defeated Escanaba 1283-998 in the quarterfinals and nipped St. Clair Shores Lakeshore in the semifinals 1263-1237.
