The Cougars will have a new boys basketball coach this winter.
Stoney Creek named Marko Tomich as their new boys basketball coach according to the D-Zone basketball who confirmed the news. Tomich takes over for Coach Jeff Olind who was let go last month.
Olind went 19-47 in his three years with the program. This is what Tomich will be tasked with in turning around but the competition will be a lot more tougher.
Tomich was an assistant at Royal Oak Shrine under Coach Mike Maryanski but he is well known with in the basketball community.
Tomich will have a huge challenge awaiting him at Stoney Creek. He has to get on the same page with the parents. The parents demand a lot from the coaching staff. Tomich will have a ton of proven talent in KJ Schuster, Anthony Arlinghaus, Quentin Rangi, Jack Fredenburg, Charlie Carson, and Joey Miller coming back. Program strength looks to be solid for the Cougars but the challenge will be at the Junior Varsity and Varsity levels with the program.
Stoney Creek will be in the White after a rough go in the Blue the last three years. They will have Adams, Rochester, Waterford Mott, Oxford, and Lake Orion in the division. The districts have not been announced yet but it is likely they could have Romeo, Utica Eisenhower, and their city rival schools (Adams and Rochester) in them.
It will be really interesting to see how Tomich handles the transition period.
