OC Top 5 – 'Old School' Skippers
In honor of the death of legendary Detroit Tigers skipper Sparky Anderson, I've decided to give my top 5 all-time Oakland County "old school" coaches
1 Roy Burkhart (Ferndale basketball) – Led the Eagles to the '63 and '66 state hoop championship
2 Don Sackett (Birmingham Seaholm baseball) – Two words: MIRACLE MAPLES ('88 Class A state champs, winning every tournament game by one run)
3 Joe D'angelo (Birmingham DCD football) – Old school all the way in leading the 'Jackets to its first state title on the gridiron back in 1986
4 Ralph Grubb (Pontiac Central basketball) – never won a state title, but a legend nonetheless especially in the pantheon of 'Yac cage greats
5 Art Paddy (OL St. Mary's football) – Sideline general of the '77 state champ Eaglets
