The Clarkston varsity girls basketball team had a tough week. First they were ousted by Kettering on Nov.17 and coach Ann Lowney resigned on Nov. 18.
?(I will be) pursuing being a mommy,? said Lowney.
Lowney is the proud mother of four-year-old triplets and felt the time had come to step away from the game to spend more time with her young ones.
‘I’ll miss all the people, seeing the girls and Coach Fife everyday,? said Lowney.
Lowney coached the Wolves for the past eight seasons and compiled a 110-62 record.
‘She built this program,? said senior forward Stephanie Parkin. ‘She was the best coach I’ve ever had or will have.?
In the end, balancing babysitters and basketballs proved to be too much and Lowney knew what she needed to do.
‘It will be extremely hard to find someone who is willing to make the sacrifies she has for our program,? said Athletic Director Dan Fife. ‘People don’t want to work that hard anymore.?
