Usually Saturday volleyball tournaments are known for producing lots of games, which allow teams and players to get better in ways they can't playing one match during a weekday.
But this Saturday, a tournament at Berkley produced not only that, but a historic milestone for one of the county's more well-known and long-tenured coaches.
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep volleyball coach Betty Wroubel earned her 1,000 career win at the tournament, which saw the Fighting Irish take home the tournament title.
It was a great honor for one of Kosmo's favorite coaches, one who's been a lynchpin in the state volleyball and softball scene for decades.
Wroubel will probably say her favorite moment was leading the volleyball team to the Class B state title in 2007, the first time an Oakland County school ever won a state title in volleyball.
But this ranks right up there in Kosmo's eyes, and a perfect way to honor someone who has impacted the lives of many over the years.
Great job and congrats, Betty.
— Thursday should be a fun night in Birmingham, as it will be a battle of unbeatens when Birmingham Detroit Country Day faces Birmingham Seaholm in a non-league football game. In addition to some city bragging rights, the matchup features the two best wide receivers in the county, Country Day's Kenny Knight and Seaholm's Shawn Conway.
