QUOTE Can Boyd pull a Buzea? By Mark Lazerus on September 25, 2009 12:19 AM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) I was talking over the phone with Michigan City athletic director Robert "Bear" Falls on Wednesday afternoon for this week's TimeOut Football cover story on the football team's turnaround when football coach Craig Buzea and boys basketball coach John Boyd walked into Falls' office, one after the other. Can't be a much better feeling as an AD than that. Michigan City went out and lured away two of the region's most successful coaches in Buzea (from Portage) and Boyd (from West Side). Both had perennial powers. Both reached the state title game. Boyd won a championship. Well, it took Buzea a little more than two years to turn Michigan City from a perennial doormat into a conference title contender. The Wolves are disciplined, they're hard working and they're successful -- a far cry from the bad old days, which pretty much lasted from consolidation in 1995 to Buzea's arrival. Can Boyd do the same? MC boys hoops has never won a sectional, has just one winning season in the last eight years, and is coming off a 3-18 campaign. Buzea, who has chatted with Boyd at length about the rebuilding process, has complete confidence in his newest colleague. "He'll be just fine," Buzea said. "He's coming in here with a lot of the same ideas and goals I did, and he's got his own ideas and plans, too. He's a proven winner. People are excited, and I'm sure he'll be very successful." |

The boys team sweeps on the home court this weekend with a 51-37 win over South Bend Adams. Adams who had beaten a great East Chicago team last night, looked to have some of the same magic going early in the Wolves Den as they jumped out to a quick 13-4 lead. After that it was all Wolves City scored the next 12 points to go in front 16-13, and they never trailed again. Eventually the run ended up being 22-2 before the Eagles could get back on track, but by then it was too late. City led by as many as 16 points and were never really seriously threatened again. Balance was again the key word of the night for MC as they had three players with eight points (Harmon, McCormick, and Edwards) plus three more with 6 points each (Clay, Washington, and Lavery). City's next game is their last of the year at home, with Portage coming to call on Senior night on Thursday the 11th.
