Thompson Out at Groves.

Written Friday April 21st at 11:35 AM

First it was Shea Carter leaving Groves to go to North Carolina, now the Falcons head coach is leaving as well.

Groves coach Amos Thompson has stepped down from coaching to focus on family. Thompson coached the Falcons for six seasons before stepping down last week.

Groves finished 18-2 and 10-0 in the Gold, winning it outright. The Falcons also had big wins over Orion and Adams but they were upset in the pre-district by their arch rival Seaholm losing 55-45 at Troy.

Thompson has made Groves into a winner but it wasn’t easy, he had a 3-17 season a few seasons ago but turned it around the last two seasons.

The Falcons will have Kayla Nelson back next season but it will be interesting whom will be coaching this team. Groves will still be a very good basketball team in 2017-2018.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.

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.
