North Farmington has their new girls basketball coach.
The Raiders will name Michael Allan as their new girls basketball coach confirmed by a very accurate source. He replaces Jeff Simpson whom has been with North Farmington for 29 years with the program. Simpson will retire from teaching at North Farmington next year.
Allan was an assistant at Waterford Kettering under then and current West Bloomfield Coach Darrin McAllister. He was the Junior Varsity Coach at Lapeer this past season. The Lightning went 11-10 under Allan last season.
Allan is known for bringing toughness, grit, and desire. It will be something that he will preach with his new program this season.
North Farmington went 22-0 which was their first undefeated season in school history but the Raiders fell to Farmington Hills Mercy in the district finals last season. The Raiders lost several very talented players but they have Asiyah Jihad and Hannah Hart coming back. Program strength was a big concern under Simpson and the problems surrounding it look to be ongoing for Allan.
North Farmington will be in the White with Groves, Royal Oak, Seaholm, Bloomfield Hills, and Harper Woods this winter. The districts have not been released yet.
It will be a very interesting transition period to watch at North Farmington.
