I thought this was the year of the Clarkston Wolves. I thought the C-Town grid and hoops squads were going to run the table. Guess it just wasn't meant to be, after Detroit U-D Jesuit dropped TEAM FIFE in the quarterfinals Tuesday courtesy of 34 points and a buzzer-beater by future McDonalds All-American Cassius Winston. But what a ride it was. As a journalist, I'll remember covering this '14-'15 group of C-Town athletes more than most. They're a fun, high-character fueled group of great kids with bright futures. Burney takes his hats off to you and sheds a tear while saying goodbye.

 

Final 2015 WOLF DEN ROLL CALL:

 

Drew "Steady Rock D" Myers - My hooping homeboy 4 life!!! What a baller , what  young man! Coldblooded Cage Assassin...'Nuff said!!  

 

Jonah "Splat" Newblatt - Sir Grind-A-Lot Special with few equals the past two seasons, looks like a football player, but was a basketball player with all the gritty ingredients of a pure winner!!

 

Josh Bonzeim & Dayton Wallis - Bonzi and Dayton Dub were the quintessential role players, the kind of guys you need to do what they do and do it well in order to go 24-0......that's what these two did, I see you fellas with that 'in-the-shadow' swag and I feel it and respect it! 

 

Merrick Canada - Maybe the most underrated two-sport gem in the OAA......just a gamer inside and out

 

Cole Chewins - Chewy, my man, all I can say is.....next stop  THE EL and the next stop after that...THE NFL DRAFT....yeah, I said it!!
