Forget the play, the West Side Story; this was definitely an East Side Story.
Let’s say the Jets are from Oakland County. And the Sharks are from Macomb County. Rather than carrying switch blades and dancing to choreography by Jerome Robbins like in the play, the stars of the show were more into choreography compliments of folks like Dan Grable or maybe Cliff Keen.
Or, more specifically, definitely choreography according to Sterling Heights’ coach Shawn Murray and Gray Mayer of Warren Woods-Tower.
The East Side wrestlers kicked some serious butt.
On Saturday, the annual Clash of the Counties were held and the kids from this east side of Dequindre were outstanding.
At Waterford Kettering, site of the Silver competition, both Sterling Heights and Warren Woods-Tower went 5-0 to lead the Macomb County schools to a 21-4 bashing of Oakland County teams.
At the Gold site, Macomb teams went 14-11.
There were five teams from each county at each site and every squad wrestled five duals.
“Based on what I’ve heard, this is the first time we have won at two sites,” said Murray. “We (Macomb County coaches) put together a nice group of teams. We worked together intent on getting it done. I told the kids we were not just representing Sterling Heights, but all of Macomb County.
“We (Sterling Heights) wanted to be a part of the Macomb-Oakland Duals. We told our kids it was a privilege to represent Macomb County. We wrestled well as a team. The kids really pulled together. Before we wrestled Stoney Creek in our fifth dual meet of the day, I told the kids that it was our chance to go 5-0 and they got it done. We concluded the match with three consecutive pins.”
Coach Murray’s Stallions opened Saturday with a 51-25 win over Avondale. They then beat Hazel Park 62-15, Kettering 38-30, West Bloomfield 53-21 and it was 44-27 against Stoney Creek.
Sterling Heights was 5-0 in MAC Blue Division competition to win the regular season championship. The Stallions are 26-6 overall. Three of those losses were against state-ranked teams. They’ll compete in the league meet Saturday.
“It was a good day,” said Murray. “This is a great group of kids.”
Coach Greg Mayer’s Warren Woods-Tower Titans defeated Hazel Park 53-13; Kettering 41-28; West Bloomfield 46-20; Stoney Creek 42-23; and Avondale 55-21.
“I thought Macomb County showed its depth at both sites,” said Mayer. “I thought we did a real good job of communicating back and forth with other coaches. We’ve always had camaraderie among coaches and coaching staffs, and that helped us win some dual meets this weekend. It was definitely a collective effort. Our coaches association is a tight-knit group.”
The same could be said about the Warren Woods-Tower wrestling family.
“I think the biggest thing we always tell our kids is to remember who you represent. You represent your family, your team, your coaches and your alumni. This past weekend, we told them they also represented Macomb County. You are so used to competing against those teams, it was nice to let your guard down and get to know them as individuals,” said Mayer.
It will be back to competing against a lot of those same individuals from Macomb County as the MAC has its league meets. Warren Woods-Tower is a member of the Red Division. The Titans were runners-up in both the dual meet and league meet last year.
