The Vikings have a new Girls Basketball coach in Chad Ossman.
Ossman takes over at Hazel Park for Chris Stroud who spend one season in the program.
Ossman comes to Hazel Park from Macomb Christian where his record wasn't the greatest when he was there.
Ossman will be the Vikings third coach in three years. Hazel Park needs coaching stability and hope that Ossman is in for the long term.
What will help Ossman this season is that the Vikings are loaded with ten seniors, one junior, and a sophomore. Hazel Park will be led by returning seniors Trinity Benton, Liz Sternor, and Cantera Clark.
Hazel Park went 13-10 last season before losing in the district final to Detroit Mumford. This season the Vikings will be in the Blue with the likes of Farmington, Oak Park, Avondale, Ferndale, Pontiac, and Berkley. They are in Class A after getting moved up from Class B. Hazel Park will be in a tough district that features Detroit Renaissance, Oak Park, Berkley, and Warren Fitzgerald.
The Vikings open up the season on Tuesday at home against Mount Clemens. The non conference schedule looks very favorable with two games against Eastpointe, Madison Heights Lamphere, Mount Clemens, Hamtramck, Armada, and Walled Lake Central.
Thoughts.
This is an interesting hire for the Vikings to bring in Ossman. His overall record was not the greatest coming over from Macomb Christian. What will help Ossman is that he has Varsity Experience to go along with ten seniors back. Do I think this team is a division championship team, probably not with Avondale, Farmington, Berkley, and Oak Park in there but they could surprise some folks.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
