A lot times in sports it really is about the team and not one star player. Many thought the Troy boys soccer team wouldn't be as good this year without the graduated Sean Cunningham, one of top high school players in the nation last year who is now playing professionally overseas (Norway was the last Kosmo had heard).
Lo and behold, that hasn't been the case.
Reloading nicely without its star, Troy is ranked No. 1 in the state in Division 1 and on Thursday earned what is always an important rivalry win over Troy Athens, 1-0.
After leading the girls team to the Division 1 state final in June, head coach Brian Zawislak took over the boys team and looks as if he'll have a chance to head there again with the way the Colts are playing right now, although it still is early.
- Walled Lake Central used to be a volleyball power back in the 1990's, but went through some down years recently. But it appears as if the Vikings are becoming relevant again in the volleyball world. Walled Lake Central had a major improvement last season and are off to a 9-2 start this year.
