Every fall, much is made of the terrific rivalry on the football field between Rochester Adams and Lake Orion, and rightfully so. Those two annually are among the area's and state's best, so it's understandably an anticipated matchup when they get together. However, it's not the only sport where there's a terrific rivalry between the two schools.
Kosmo has a good feeling for a long time in the future, the baseball programs at the two schools will have as good a rivalry as there is in the state.
Adams and Lake Orion have two of not only the best young coaches around, but two of the best period. Adams coach Chuck Van Robays and Lake Orion head coach Andy Schramek are two of the most passionate and dedicated coaches you'll find, and they haven't taken too long to build their teams into two of the area's best each year.
They both not only dedicate themselves during the season, but also during the summer.
Each year, there should be talent at the schools in baseball, and with the teams being in the same league and district round of the state tournament, it should be as good of a rivalry as there is in the county, regardless of sport.
Adams won the first meeting of 2010 between the two on Monday, earning a 6-0 win. The teams will meet once more at Adams, and then there's a good chance they'll meet in districts. It should be a fun show if they do, one that showcases a rivalry every bit as good as the one between the schools in football
