Ravens have their new coach

The Royal Oak Ravens have their new coach.

Aaron Smith the longtime assistant and Junior Varsity coach at Troy is the new head coach replacing coach Mike Massucci.

He does work in the Detroit Pistons organization as the head of their youth camps.

Smith will have guards Cordell Dupree and Gavin Boswell to led the team as they will be in the Gold where they could be a sleeper to contend with along with Groves, Berkley, and Hazel Park.

With Smith now at Royal Oak, this leaves three schools looking for new boys basketball coaches in Orion, Oak Park, and Southfield.

Crosby Retires after 42 Years in the Dugout.

Tuesday marked an end of an era in Beverly Hills.

Longtime baseball coach Jim Crosby is retiring after winning 720 games at Groves. He has won 16 league championships and seven district titles. Crosby also has had a high success rate on and off the field when it came to young players.

Crosby arrived in 1974 and recently his Falcons lost a tough one to Bloomfield Hills 3-2 in extra innings at Birmingham Seaholm on Tuesday.
