The Dragons will have a new girls basketball direction next winter.
Lake Orion Coach Bob Brydges and the school parted ways last week.
The job was posted on Tuesday.
Brydges went 98-76 in his eight years coaching the program which included two district crowns in 2022 and 2023. He formerly coached at Bloomfield Hills Lahser and at Waterford Mott before coming to Lake Orion in 2012 where he worked his way up within the program under Coaches Steve Roberts, Kevin Kopec, and Mike Griffin before getting the opportunity to take over the program in 2018.
Lake Orion went 6-17 falling to Adams 53-34 in the district semifinals this past season.
The Dragons have program strength which will help the new coach whomever it will be. Lake Orion has Kara Veeder, Abby Neering, Kelsey King, Trinity Hays, Addi Wotlinski, Maddie Cloos, Mary Graves, and others coming back.
Brydges did set the standard when it came to program development. The sub varsities often posted very strong records. It will be very interesting to see what direction the program goes next season.
It will not be long until Brydges gets another opportunity. He is well respected among the OAA and peers around the State.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
