Class A: Foster Loyer (MSU) guides Dan Fife, Clarkston to first title

EAST LANSING -- Dan Fife soaked up the moment.

After 35 years and 677 wins, Clarkston's legendary coach finally realized his championship dream. The Wolves upset top-ranked Grand Rapids Christian, 75-69, in today's Class A final for their first boys basketball state title.

The Breslin Center crowd of 13,251 included Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, Michigan coach John Beilein and Oakland coach Greg Kampe.

Fife ranks fourth all-time in MHSAA career victories.

"To do this for coach Fife, and our community, has been very special," said junior guard and Michigan State commit Foster Loyer, who had 29 points, five rebounds and three assists.
