The Hazel Park Vikings will be much different next season.
Citing a very accurate source and Facebook conformation, Hazel Park Boys Basketball coach Brendan Barrett has stepped down from coaching at the Vikings.
According to his Facebook account, Barrett said "Well the time has come to close the chapter on my run at Hazel Park, moving onto a new school."
Barrett has became the new head coach at Detroit University Prep.
Barrett leaves Hazel Park finishing with an 18-3 record this season. The Vikings had a senior heavy team but were eliminated in the district semifinal at Detroit Renaissance by Detroit-University-Detroit Jesuit.
Barrett coached the Vikings for five years finishing his career with a 60-48 record. He led Hazel Park to a Gold title in 2016-2017, a share of the White in 2017-2018, and went to the Red this season where they had two losses, both were to Clarkston.
Hazel Park loses a lot of talent (especially Carl Bow, Devin Pettis, and David Hearns) and will basically start from scratch next season.
Thoughts.
This was not surprising to me that Barrett would step down. Hazel Park loses a ton of talent. Barrett has been the team's best coach they have had in a while. It's going to be hard for the Vikings to rebound without Barrett or that talent they had there.
