A familiar face in the OAA has became the next Athletic Director at Stoney Creek.
Stoney Creek named Todd Negoshian, the longtime Boys Basketball coach at North Farmington will become the next Athletic Director at Stoney Creek. He started his new position on Tuesday July 1st.
The MHSAA website confirmed that Negoshian was named the new athletic director for the Cougars.
Negoshian takes over for Brian Anderson who stepped down at the end of the school year.
Negoshian is no stranger to the OAA as he has been the head Boys Basketball Coach for the Raiders since 2007 taking over the reigns from his father, the legendary Tom Negoshian. Prior to North Farmington, he was a Graduate Assistant Coach for Oakland University under legendary Head Coach Greg Kampe. Negoshian has led the Raiders to two MHSAA Division One State Championship appearances (2017, 2024.)
Negoshian according to Hometown Life's Brandon Folsom reported that he has stepped down as the Boys Basketball Coach at North Farmington. It will be the first time in 43 years that a Negoshian is not leading the program.
North Farmington is leaving the OAA after the end of the 2025-2026 school year as they are departing for the Lakes Valley Conference.
Negoshian went 222-84 in his fourteen years as the head coach of the Raiders with three league titles, six district championships, two regional titles, and two trips to the Breslin Center at North Farmington.
But Negoshian will be staying in the league in his new role.
Negoshain's familiarity with the league and creative ideas will bond him well. Stoney Creek athletics for the most part has been solid but has taken a step back a bit in a few sports in recent years. The Cougars have been a state power in competitive cheerleading and tennis. They've had a bounce back in football making the postseason under first year coach Rick Powell last season and are more than capable with their soccer and volleyball programs to have a bounce back year.
Negoshian's impact on Stoney Creek athletics will be immediate. Some interesting questions linger from the basketball front. The Cougars have a new boys basketball in Marko Tomich taking over the program while the girls program is under the guidance of Columbus Williams. The basketball programs will be something to watch under Negoshian as will be the other sports.
It's a new era for the Cougars with Negoshian in charge.
