Written Tuesday November 7th at 8:00 PM

The Cougars have a new girls basketball coach.

Stoney Creek named Columbus Williams as their new coach according to the MHSAA website. He takes over for Coach Kellen James who stepped down last month.

Williams coached at New Haven and is in charge of the Michigan Goonies AAU program. He was 54-26 in his four years at New Haven.

Williams takes over a Stoney Creek program that is loaded with proven talent and experience. They have Sarah LaPrarie, Merrick Schlawbach, and Izzy Ivezaj coming back. The Cougars won 46 games in the last three years under James.

It will be very interesting for the Cougars as they will have to go through a coaching transition period. It will be also interesting to see what Williams does different from what James did.

Stoney Creek will be in a very tough division in the Red and in a very tough district which has Adams, Rochester, Romeo, and Utica Eisenhower.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.

Here is the conformation.
