The Red Hawks fell to Yante Maten-led Lahser High in the state semifinals Monday, 70-61, but it may not be the last you hear of this team for some time.
WEST BLOOMFIELD — Going into halftime down by just two points to Lahser High on Monday, it was obvious that Troy Athens High felt confident on the court against the favored Knights. However, after falling behind by nine points by the end of the third quarter, it was also obvious that an upset was not in the cards. The Red Hawks' varsity boys basketball team fell on Monday, 70-61, in the Region 8 semifinals against a Knights team led by star junior Yante Maten and his 24 points. Coach David Scott said that the team — the first MHSAA Class A District Champions at Athens since 2000 — could be expected to build upon its success in coming years. While the Red Hawks finished with a 6-17 overall record this season, sophomores John Van Hoef, Devin…

Troy Athens High School hosts 40 robotics teams from around the state competing for a bid to the state finals.
Forty Michigan robotics teams went toe-to-toe Friday in the first day of the two-day Troy FIRST Robotics Districts Competition at Troy Athens High School. The competition features teams from around the state, including the Troy District Hammerheads, the International Academy East Exiles and dozens of other teams from southeast Michigan.

Money raised by Troy Athens High School students last week will benefit I've Got Your Backs, a charity that helps anyone in need.
On Friday, students at Troy Athens High School held a pep rally to celebrate a very successful end to Charity Week, during which students raised tens of thousands of dollars for “I’ve Got Your Backs” – a local charity that assists anyone in need. The charity was founded in honor of 21-year-old Isaac Loughrige, who died two years ago as a result of complications after contracting the H1N1 virus. Loughrige was known as an athlete and an especially generous individual who would do anything he could to help those in need. "Isaac was known for taking the shoes off of his feet or the coat off of his back to give to other people," said Kathleen Loughrige, Isaac's mother. Kathleen and Shawn Loughrige, Isaac's father, were present at the pep rally …
