Ron Bellamy said his farewell to West Bloomfield High two days after leading the football team to a state championship and will soon be formally announced as receivers coach at Michigan.
Bellamy, 39, is a former Michigan receiver (1999-2002) who coached the last 11 seasons at West Bloomfield. He led the team to the state title last Saturday with a 41-0 victory over Davison, the defending Division 1 state champion.
He joins the staff as his star running back, Donovan Edwards, also joins the team as an early enrollee. Edwards ran for a career-high 257 yards, most in a Division I/Class A title game, and scored three touchdowns in the victory.
