West Bloomfield Names New Girls Basketball Coach.

Written Thursday July 6th at 7:00 AM

The West Bloomfield Lakers have their new Girls Basketball Coach.

The Lakers according to a very accurate source named Bert Mosley as their next coach replacing Zach Hilbers whom stepped down in May.

Mosley coached the Junior Varsity under Hilbers but he has been very successful not only developing kids but also winning games in that level. It will be interesting how he and his team will do in the Varsity level.

What will help Mosley is that West Bloomfield had a strong Junior Varsity team coming up to go along with returning players Ellie Soverinsky, Mya Bobo, and Destiny Monroe.

The Lakers will be in a favorable division in the White this upcoming season and compete with Royal Oak, Oxford, Troy, Troy Athens, Groves, Rochester, and Seaholm. They could have to deal with Waterford Kettering in districts as they are in the Bloomfield Hills district with the Captains, Waterford Mott, Avondale, and Bloomfield Hills.

Thoughts.

I love this hire. The move to me wasn’t much of a surprise but here is why I love this hire. Mosley is energetic, passionate, and a proven winner.

Mosley will get the best out of the Girls and they will compete. I think his Lakers are in a favorable division, they could give Royal Oak some problems. The Ravens are deemed the favorite in the division but they will have their challenges as well, including West Bloomfield. If the Lakers want to compete not only in the division but in the district as well, they have to address their depth especially in the post because a team like Waterford Kettering will be very deep and Royal Oak has three big post players that can play as well.

It will be an interesting season for the Lakers that’s for sure.
