had to work harder than
many teams to earn a berth
in the Michigan High School Athletic
Association state football playoffs. The
Yellowjackets' nine regular-season foes
had a combined 49-30 record.
Country
Day defeated
defending
Division 4
champion Flint
Powers Catholic
and runner-up
Grand Rapids
Catholic Central
en route to a 7-2
record. Its only
Rosenfeld
losses were to
2003 and 2004
Division 4 runner-up DeWitt and unde-
feated Saginaw Nouvel.
One of the architects of Country
Day's Division 5 playoff spot was
senior quarterback and co-captain
Ben Rosenfeld. The 5-foot-11, 170-
pounder threw for 12 touchdowns and
more than 1,000 yards; and he led the
Yellowjackets on a game-winning drive
in a thrilling 23-22 victory over Grand
Rapids CC.
Rosenfeld is more than just a football
player at Country Day, in Beverly Hills.
By the time he graduates, he hopes to
have earned nine varsity letters in four
sports: four in hockey, two in football
and lacrosse, and one in baseball.
Rosenfeld plays right wing in hockey
and defender in lacrosse, and he was an
infielder in baseball.
"It's been tough playing all those
sports at an academically challenging
school like Country Day, but it definite-
ly has been worth it," Rosenfeld said.
"You get so much out of participating
in team sports. It teaches you to rely on
your teammates, and it makes you do
things you sometimes don't want to do
for your team or yourself."
Rosenfeld, 17, is looking to continue
his football career in college, prob-
ably at an NCAA Division III school.
A Huntington Woods resident, he
attended Burton Elementary and
Norup Middle School in the Berkley
district before going to Country Day
Middle School as a seventh-grader. He
played defensive tackle on the middle
school football team before becoming a
quarterback in high school.
Rosenfeld's parents are Jim and
Peggy Rosenfeld. He has a brother
Harrison, 12, a seventh-grader who
plays football and lacrosse at Country
Day Middle School.
There are five co-captains on the
Country Day football team, and two
are Jewish. Besides Rosenfeld, the other
one is senior offensive lineman Daniel
Kowalsky from West Bloomfield.
Soccer Star
Aliza Caplan is enjoying a solid
season for the Kalamazoo College
women's soccer team. The junior for-
ward from Huntington Woods led the
Hornets with 12 goals through last
week's games, and she was named
the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic
Association Offensive Player of the
Week for the week of Oct. 8.
Caplan received the MIAA honor
after she scored three goals in a 7-0
victory over Michigan-Dearborn Oct.
15, and she contributed a goal and
an assist in
Kalamazoo's 3-
2 double-over-
time triumph
over Alma Oct.
11.

10 goals and

Honorable
Mention
accolades in her first two years at
Kalamazoo, Caplan, 20, said she's play-
ing with more confidence this fall. The
Hornets were 9-5-2 heading into last
weekend's MIAA tournament.
Caplan was a third team and honor-
able mention All-State player at Berkley
High School, where she was a center-
midfielder for four years. She also was
a setter on the volleyball team for two
years. She played club soccer for the
Birmingham Blazers for six years.
"I came to Kalamazoo because I was
looking for small liberal arts college
where I could play soccer," she said. The
daughter of Peter and Susan Caplan,
Aliza has a brother Michael, 22, a for-
mer Berkley soccer goalie. 1: :
