"As a coach, you can preach all you want, but until a kid has a chance to see the three-ring circus called a state meet, he doesn't know what he's up against." Lewin, a junior, went 1-2 in Battle Creek, giving him a 36-14 record for the season. His first state meet match was a 3-2 loss to Flint Northern's Eugene Cal- loway, who eventually finished third. After defeating Tom Zdun of Jenison 3-1 in overtime, Lewin was sidelined by Jason Ohrt of Fraser, who pinned him in 2:44. Lewin led 6-2 at the time. Ohrt went on to place fifth. "Jeremy wrestled very well," Wilson said. "I predict he'll get back to the state meet next year and be an All-Stater. What we've got to do in the off-season is work on his strength so it will be equiv- alent to his speed." Simon went 0-2 in the state meet and finished 33-16. The sophomore took on Matt Michal- ski of Farmington, ranked No. 1 in the state at 100 pounds, in his first match and Michalski beat him 7-0. Brandon Bandlow of Bay City Western ousted Simon from the meet by defeating him 11-1. Wilson wants to see Simon wrestle at 106 pounds next sea- son. If he does, the coach believes Simon will have a good shot at returning to Battle Creek.

The burly 6-foot-8 sophomore center, whose nickname is "Big Dog," averaged nearly 10 points and 10 rebounds a game for Western, which went 10-13 and played for a Class A district championship after finishing 0- 21 the previous year. Western had won four straight — including two district games for the first time in school histo- ry — before it dropped a 60-57 heartbreaker to crosstown rival Walled Lake Central in a district final at Western on March 10. Earlier this season, Central beat Western by 25 points. In Western's 47-45 win over Milford in a district opener on March 6, Oseff scored seven points including a key three-point play with 1:43 remaining. Oseff had a dozen points in Western's 59-54 triumph over Waterford Kettering on March 8 in a district semifinal. "Hopefully, we'll take it up an- other notch next year," Oseff said. "We should get some help from our junior varsity team, which had a 13-4 record. "I'm looking forward to next year. We lost six seniors, so I'm going to try to provide some lead- ership. And I'm going to work hard in the off-season so I can be- come our go-to guy on offense." This spring, Oseff will be throwing the shotput and discus for the Western boys track team, playing AAU basketball and um- piring in North Farmington-West Bloomfield youth baseball and softball leagues. VOLLEYBALL After guiding his Ferndale vol- leyball team to a Class A district championship the previous week, Coach Jason Gold saw the squad's season come to an end in the regional at Livonia Ladywood on March 10. Catholic League power Farm- ington Hills Mercy beat Ferndale 15-5, 15-11 in a regional semifi- nal, leaving Gold's group with a final 17-18-7 record in his first year at the helm. "I saw a lot of progress this sea- son. I think our program is head- ed in the right direction," Gold said. 111 Jewish Sittios C C1 M F. 1 L E L7/ B V S T E V E S T E I NI - 5075 West flaple Road – West bloorniield, f11 48322 6011 PAL ADl11551011: $150 SPOI1S012: $200 IT'S ALL AT APPLEGATE .. .
