When arguably the state's best athletic program, Detroit Catholic Central, moved into Oakland County and Novi from Redford in 2005, it figured to change a lot in the county's high school sports landscape.
The Shamrocks frequently would win multiple state championships in a school year, and figured to be further enhanced by their sparkling new campus that opened in 2005.
Instead, for four years, it looked as if the new campus was a curse because the Shamrocks didn't win a state championship in any sport.
Alas, all that's in the rear view mirror now. Big time.
The Shamrocks have now state championships in four sports in the past year. It all started last March, when the hockey team broke the ice by romping it's way to the Division 1 state championship.
Then, the football and cross country teams won state championships in the Fall. On Saturday, the wrestling team followed suit, peaking at the right time and winning the Division 1 state title with a win over perennial power Rockford.
Forget Catholic Central. It's Champion Central now
