The following story was written and submitted by Tom Kuhn/Detroit County Day Hockey. In the opener for both teams, Detroit Country Day defeated Troy Athens 7-2 at the Troy Sports Arena Wednesday night. "Our special teams were real good tonight," said Frank Novock, Country Day coach. "Our penalty kill didn't give up anything. On the power play, we scored three goals." DCDS fought through nine penalty kills, including two five on three Athens' advantages. Country Day jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the first period as junior defenseman Shane Switzer scored both goals. Switzer skated past the Athens defense and rifled a shot in from the right circle for an unassisted goal four minutes into the game. He then added Country Day's second goal…

Troy school participates in national initiative to end the bullying epidemic.
About 700 Larson Middle School students and dozens of teachers and parents took a stand against bullying Thursday morning in a march from the Troy school to Troy Athens High School. The event was part of the national Million T-Shirt March, which strives to raise awareness about bullying. Participants wore T-shirts with anti-bullying messages to demonstrate unity and carried signs with messages such as "Help, don't hurt," "Step up" and "Be nice on the net." The group was greeted by the Troy Athens marching band when it arrived at the high school. Students have participated in anti-bullying lessons and activities all week and teachers are putting an emphasis on social media bullying and texting, Troy schools spokeswoman Kerry Birmingham said…

An early loss to Troy Athens means some tough love for the Colts as they shoot for a second consecutive Oakland Activities Association White title.
The first Troy High School varsity boys basketball practice after a 62-61 loss on Friday to rival Athens wasn’t an easy one. Monday, Colts head coach Gary Fralick let his team know he wasn’t happy with its performance in its first loss to Athens and told the squad they needed some “tough love." He also extended practice to include a film session. “They were a good team, I give Athens credit, but we still should’ve beat ’em,” Fralick said. He was particularly upset that his team gave up more than 60 points on defense, including 28 points to Athens senior Marcarius Coakley. Coakley hit a key 3-pointer late in the game to tie it 60-60. “Can’t give up 62 points every game and expect to win,” Fralick said. “It’s early, but we have to work on …

'Lend Me a Tenor' will run Friday and Saturday; tickets are still available.
Troy Athens Theatre Company decided to go in a different direction for their fall play this year and will be tackling a comedy, which will debut Friday night. Lend Me a Tenor is the "really funny’" play that the theater group decided to undertake this year. According to Sarah Zarbaugh, 17-year-old senior at Troy Athens High School playing the part of Diana, this will be the first year since she has been a part of the theater program that the group dropped the dramatic plays, and went for something new. Last year the group performed The Crucible and the year before did A Christmas Carol. “I like how this is a lot different. We are able to enjoy ourselves a lot and having us enjoy ourselves makes the play even better,” Zarbaugh said. The …

The Red Hawks hope to keep their momentum as they compete at the state level this Saturday and in a national competition next week.
After setting a school record Saturday at the Lakeland Invitational, Troy Athens High School marching band members are setting their sights on capping off a successful season with good scores at the last competitions of the year – state and nationals. The band snagged third place and scored 84.64 points at Saturday's invitational, breaking the school’s record of 83.6 points out of 100 in a band competition. Marching band director Jeff McCoy said crossing the 90-point threshold is rare and that only a handful of teams usually cross the 80-point threshold during competitions. The Red Hawks will perform at 9 a.m. Saturday during the Michigan Competing Band Association State Championship at Ford Field, then will travel Thursday to Indianapolis…

A recent Newsweek ranking of the nation's high schools places Troy Athens as among the best in the country.
A Newsweek ranking of America’s Best High Schools placed Troy’s Athens High School as sixth highest in the State of Michigan.
