As parking lots quickly filled up, many supporters of the Stoney Creek High School Class of 2012 opted to walk to Ultimate Soccer Arena in Pontiac for Stoney Creek’s commencement ceremony, rather than wait for one of several shuttles from neighboring lots.  This set the tone for the ceremony: one of great love and support for the graduates.  Stoney Creek principal Larry Goralski spoke fondly of the students of the Class of 2012, proud of their excellence.  This was exemplified in his saying to them: “Always remember Stoney Creek staff, and Mr. G., love you.” Commencement speakers Anna Rode, Charles Kern, and Shelby Spahar brought graduates to tears with their memories of time spent at Stoney Creek.  Kern spoke about things he would have …

Back to Basketball: Stoney Creek Aims for District Championship

The Cougars are hungry for another shot at the district championship with fresh senior leadership and young talent at the helm.

Strength and honor. Borrowed from the movie Gladiator, this is the message second-year head coach Steve Norgrove brings to Stoney Creek High School's basketball program. Norgrove coached the Cougars to their first playoff victory in school history last season against a tough Rochester High School team.   "We like to promote good competition and having honor in everything we do, so that's why one of our slogans is strength and honor," Norgrove said. Norgrove's coaching philosophy emphasizes accountability on and off the court: Players who miss layups or don't box out for a rebound have to do two push-ups.  The losing team during scrimmage at practice runs sprints.   "We like to have winners and losers, that's just how it works, but you can …
