Cougars Take Home Girls Soccer Crown.

Written Friday June 17th at 6:05 PM

The Stoney Creek Cougars Girls Soccer program is considered to be a powerhouse program in the State of Michigan.

Now they can consider themselves to be State Champions.

For the first time since Stoney Creek opened as a school in 2002, the Cougars won their first State Title defeating Plymouth Canton 1-0 in the Division One State Finals in East Lansing on Friday afternoon.

Stoney Creek scored their only goal when junior and Girls Basketball player Emily Solek scored on a penalty kick giving the Cougars the edge they needed.

The Cougars dominated the game, possession, and play. The out-shot the Chiefs 10-2 and it showed.

Stoney Creek did go to the State Final in 2005 but lost to Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central in the Division Two Final.

The Cougars made an improbable run through the tournament despite the fact they are ranked tenth in the State. First they took out Utica Ford whom was ranked seventh in the State in the district semifinal, then they took out second ranked and unbeaten Utica Eisenhower in the district final, then they took out Macomb Dakota in the regional semifinal, and the host Troy Athens in the regional final. They would then take down fourth ranked Novi in the State Semifinal before beating Canton in East Lansing in the State Final.

Stoney Creek gave the OAA their first State title in the 2015-2016 school year. North Farmington went to the State Final in Boys Basketball but lost to Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit in the State Final.

Thoughts.

The Cougars were rewarded with this State Title after the district and regional they were in and went through. They earned this title, give them credit, and give them their place in the State.

The better team won today and they were rewarded.
