Adams and Rochester will be bringing their “A” games to Oakland University in the 42nd Annual Crosstown Showdown on Friday, January 13, 2012. On the line: Bragging rights for the best basketball team in the city.

The Girl’s Varsity teams will tip-off the hoops hysteria at 6:00 p.m. Veteran

Coach Fran Scislowicz (21st season) will lead Adams against third year Lady Falcons coach Adam Sheldon. Last year, Adams took back the title from Rochester with a 50-36 victory. Will it be back-to-back wins for the Highlanders or the Falcons snatch back the honor?

Then at 8:00 p.m., John Pleasant, in his third year at the helm of the Falcons, will guide Rochester against the Highlanders, coached by John Hall (13th season). The Falcons look to defend their 63-48 triumph from last year, as well as their 56-41 victory earlier this season in December.

Don’t forget to grab your gear! T-shirts commemorating the event will be available at both schools prior to the games for $15 and will allow wearers to gain admission to the contests. Those not wishing to buy a t-shirt for admission may purchase general admission tickets at the arena box office for $5, beginning at 5:00 p.m. on January 13.

Generous sponsorship for this community event are provided by Smith Jewelers, FAMS Printing & Embroidery, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings, Tri-County Sports, Custom Printing, and Rochester College.

Clarkston pulls away late from Adams

Although Clarkston reached the Class A regional finals last season, the Wolves didn’t start the campaign with a long win streak.

In fact, Clarkston was only 2-4 by mid-December a year ago.

The Wolves, who returned eight of their top 10 players from last season, have raced out to a 4-0 start this season, topping host Rochester Adams, 41-27, in an OAA crossover girls basketball game Thursday.

“Last year we started kind of slow but then we went on a nice run (of wins),” recalled Clarkston coach Tim Wasilk, whose team finished 18-6 last season, winning 16 of their final 18 ball games. “But a lot of our wins were close wins. We had a lot of wins that were under five or 10 points.”

Two years ago Clarkston finished 7-14. Now, the Wolves have several third-year and fourth-year varsity veterans. It was that experience that helped Clarkston pull away from Adams.

“I think being in close games in the past, that experience really helped us,” said Wasilk. “We are used to being in that position. We have a lot of experience and depth and that really helps in a game like this.”

Clarkston held Adams to a dismal 22 percent shooting night (9-for-42), including no three-pointers. The Wolves also managed to post an astounding 41-18 advantage on the boards and forced the Highlanders into 16 turnovers.

Still, Adams was within striking range in the fourth quarter. Read more at www.northoaklandsports.com

 
Troy Soccer Team Dispatches Adams in 3-1 District Win

Monday’s conditions were more suitable for flying a kite than for soccer. But for sixth-ranked Troy, the end result was just right.

Troy, the OAA Red Division, defeated Rochester Adams for the second time in six days, topping the Highlanders, 3-1, in a Division 1 boys soccer pre-district contest.

After surrendering a goal in the first minute, the Colts sailed past the Highlanders with three unanswered goals to survive and advance.

Troy coach Brian Zawislak’s team lost to Adams 2-0 back in September before defeating the Highlanders 1-0 just last week. The game started with the Colts facing an early deficit.

“Flashback to the first game,” noted Zawislak, whose team gave up a goal in the first five minutes of the 2-0 loss. “But we had good composure and we did a good job sticking to the game plan and not getting rattled from that. We were able to settle down and come back.”

Troy, which has been a mainstay in the state’s top 10 the past four seasons, has been unable to get past the regional finals in that stretch. The Colts have goals of making a long run this time.
