The Clarkston Wolves Girls Basketball team will be very different this fall.
Citing accurate sources Christine Rogers has stepped down from coaching the Wolves after Clarkston's longest tournament run in a while.
The Wolves lose Kayla Luchenbach, Molly Nicholson, Maddie Beck, Kianna Ayotte, among others to graduation. Luchenbach (Oakland) and Beck (Hawaii) will be heading to Division One Schools next season. Clarkston will be very young next season led by Taylor Heaton, Piper Bosart, Lexi Linton, and Kaitlyn Kaul.
Clarkston went 20-5 last season losing to the eventual State Champions Saginaw Heritage in the State Quarterfinals.
Rogers has coached some very good players in the Wolves basketball program including Erika Davenport, Kayla Luchenbach, Maddie Beck, and Molly Nicholson.
Thoughts
This is very interesting now that Rogers is now out at Clarkston. Now you got to look at the whole program including the Middle School ranks as well. Does Wolves Athletic Director Jeff Kosin go internal or does he hire someone outside the box??? both are possible. An interesting decision if Kosin chooses this route is that he could convince Tim Waslik to go back to coach the Girls. Waslik coached the Girls until the 2012 season when he left to become an assistant for the Boys program for Dan Fife.
Whomever coaches the Wolves will have a very young but talented team (Junior Varsity team went 20-0) but patience will be needed for this job. This hire will also test Kosin because this is now his first major hire as Athletic Director.
Whomever also gets this job will have to compete in the very tough Red which will have Royal Oak, Southfield Arts and Tech, North Farmington, Bloomfield Hills, Groves, and Stoney Creek to deal with.
We shall see what happens.
