Lake Orion Athletic Director Chris Bell has named Bob Brydges as the team’s next Varsity Girls Basketball coach after coach Mike Griffin was needed at Sterling Heights to coach their Boys Basketball team confirmed on Twitter.
Griffin was the coach at Sterling Heights until 2014 when he
took some time off before becoming the Dragons new coach last season.
Griffin will have to rebuild the Stallions program after it
went 9-12 last season. Sterling Heights will be a better program this season
because of Griffin. He is a teacher in the school district.
Lake Orion will have its fourth coach in four seasons but
Brydges is familiar with the program coming over from Bloomfield Hills Lahser
when it merged in 2013. Brydges was the coach for the Knights until they merged
with Bloomfield Hills Andover and became Bloomfield Hills.
Brydges was in the running for the Blackhawks job but it
went to Jeff Rubin.
Brydges came to Lake Orion and worked with four different
coaches in Steve Roberts, Kevin Kopec, and Griffin. He coached the Freshman
team for three seasons and the Junior Varsity team last year.
Brydges will have a team that has a ton of returners from
last season from a team that went 4-16 and moved down the White. Lake Orion has
Sophie Wyborski, Kendall Robertson, Paytin Shadaia, Kylie Anderson, Grace Berger,
Abbey Maresch, and Meghan Marshall all returning.
Thoughts.
Griffin was needed at Sterling Heights to fix their program
and I think he will do a very good job there.
I think it was a great move for Bell to keep the program in
house with Brydges. Brydges was a Varsity coach but also coached in the
Freshman, Junior Varsity, and the Oakview Eighth Grade program.
It will be very interesting to see what happens.
