One of the worst-kept coaching secrets is now official. Ever since Tim Storch announced he was retiring as a teacher in the Troy School District and as soccer coach at Athens back in the spring so he could move to Alpena, Kosmo figured Storch would be landing a coaching gig up there.
Sure enough, he has.
According to a good friend of the Oakland Press, Dan Stickradt of www.northoaklandsports.com, Storch has been named the boys and girls soccer coach at Alpena High School.
Alpena has never been a soccer power, but the K-Man has a feeling that'll change now that the state's best coach is in charge up there.
It's a great hire for Alpena and it's nice to know such a great man like Storch will stay in coaching.
