5/14/06 Northville, Brighton and Livonia Stevenson feature some of the top high school soccer talent in the State of Michigan, if not the nation. In fact, they are currently ranked 4-5-6 in this soccer rich state. So, when the defending State Champion Novi Wildcats square off against these formidable opponents, you know it’s not going to be easy. But, when the Lady Cats win all three contests by a combined score of 7-1, one might ask themselves, can it be this easy? Of course not… However, the Novi Wildcats, a squad now knocking on the door of 40 straight games without a loss, seemingly make it look effortless, even though we know that’s not the case. When you have superior talent and
depth, and intelligent coaching coupled with a solid game plan, you’re
well on your way to success. What we’re seeing more than anything is
a group of accomplished athletes that is very mature for their age and
stage of development. It’s one thing to win; it’s another to win with class and dignity. When you look at the accomplishments of other high schools of notoriety in the past decade, from football to hockey to baseball, in many cases their success was met with jealousy and inflammatory remarks. This is not the case with the Novi Wildcats. Even casual observers from outside the district realize they are seeing something special. Again, not just because of the incredible record and gaudy statistics, but rather with the quiet dignity with which this unit goes about their business. True greatness needs no self-promotion. Just another reason why this team is so great. (c) 2006 Novi
