The Stoney Creek Cougars has been going through a culture of change, last offseason Kellen James took over the Girls Basketball team and this offseason there have been changes to the Football and Volleyball season side. Bob Lantzy returned to coach the football team and now the Cougars will have a new Volleyball coach.
The Cougars named Ross Talbott head coach on Thursday as Talbott will replace Mandy Moran whom resigned a few weeks ago.
Stoney Creek will be getting a heck of a coach in Talbott as he knows the OAA very well. He is most known being the head coach at Orion from 2012-2013 and previously was the Junior Varsity Coach at Orion when the Dragons went to the State Finals in 2011. After Talbott left Orion he was an assistant under coach Kristi McDevitt at Oxford for a season in 2014. He also coaches an AAU squad that is a powerhouse as well.
The Cougars will be a young team in 2016 after losing a ton of talent from a team that shared the Red with Orion and Seaholm but lost to Utica Eisenhower in the district final last season. Stoney Creek will return All Oakland County Second team Senior liberio Erika Ward. Ward is expected to be the key to lead the Cougars in the fall.
Stoney Creek will be in the Red for Volleyball and compete with the likes of Clarkston, Orion, Seaholm, Troy, and Oxford all in which Talbott knows very well.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for this developing story.

About Me
- Saginaw Bay
- I have highest function of autism (Asperger Syndrome.) I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan. I like to play and watch football, especially when the Dragons play on Friday nights. I am a 2006 alum and used to play football for the Dragons. I ran track, I ran the 100, 200, 400 meter dashes along with shot-put and discus. During my time in Orion I was a manager for Junior Varsity Boys Basketball team. I'm the volleyball, girls basketball, and football announcer for the team and do the book on the road for girls basketball. I do the clock for volleyball in the fall along with girls basketball in the winter and announce some boys basketball games as well. In the spring I coach shot-put at Scripps Middle School, in my fifth season coaching. I run the shot-put for high school meets. I played Special Olympics Basketball, I've won three gold medals for them. I host "Between Taorminas" which is on ONTV along with a podcast called "OAA Now". In other various things outside of Lake Orion, I love to jet ski over Saginaw Bay. Saginaw Bay is basically my life. I'm a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service for Oakland and Huron counties.
