EAST LANSING, Mich. – Josh Hickey heard from the past the last two days.
Not ghosts from the past, but past players from Rochester Adams' past teams sending their words of encouragement.
Hickey, the head girls soccer coach at Rochester Adams, shared some videos and text messages with his team on Thursday.
“We got all kinds of messages from former players,” noted Hickey. “We got a video from (Ashlee Fontes) who used to work for US Soccer wishing us luck and I got a whole bunch of text messages from different players on that (1999) team. Those girls are like in their early 40s now and they graduated in ’99 or 2000, but they still care. They are rooting us on. I showed a video and some of the texts to the girls – and these were from players whose pictures are on our (Hall-of-Fame) wall near our gym. We’ve had some great players here.”
Rochester Adams last played in a state finals match back in 1999 some 25 years ago with a star-studded team full of eventual college players. The Highlanders defeated Livonia Stevenson in double-overtime in that game, 1-0, as part of a decade where Adams was a consistent state powerhouse with four appearances in the state finals – the 1992 team and 1999 teams captured state crowns while the 1990 and 1998 squads finished as the state runner-up.
The Highlanders have reached the Final Four several times since that ’99 campaign but had not been back to the state finals until now.
Sixth-ranked Rochester Adams scored an early goal and added a late insurance tally Friday afternoon at Michigan State University’s DeMartin Stadium and Hartland 2-0 in the Division 1 state finals – the school’s third state crown which ended a 25-year drought.
“We just continued to push and push and push,” said Evelyn Kekhoua, who scored the first goal for the Highlanders. “Even after many misses I felt like we could keep going and we got it done.”
Twenty-five years in the making.
“It’s actually amazing. It’d so awesome It’s such a special team and I’m so happy to be a part of it,” continued Kekhoua. “We really are (so close). The chemistry here is amazing.
“We’ve played some highly-ranked teams. We like to challenge ourselves a lot. We challenge ourselves every single day. Our practices are usually intense,” added Kekhoua.
All of that proved to be a winning recipe for a team that finished tied for second in the Oakland Activities Association-Red Division. The OAA-Red has had a different team win the last three Division 1 state championships – Bloomfield Hills won it all in 2022 and Rochester Stoney Creek earned the crown in 2023 and now Adams in 2024 – and the Highlanders were the fourth different school from the power league to reach the D-1 finals. Troy Athens lost in the 2021 state finals to Hartland.
“Our league is hard because if you lose (a game) in our league you’re not going to win our league,” noted Hickey. “that’s my belief on that. We finished second in the league and we had two losses. We just used those league games to see how we are and those are the hardest fought games that we play (until the tournament) I thought we did really well. We were in every single game (this season).”
Still, in a year where Adams did not win a league and did not crack the top five in the MIHSSCA Division 1 rankings, the Highlanders put it all together for a memorable and surprise postseason run despite being a team that lacks superstars.
“This is amazing because I don’t think many people thought we could do it. We knew (as coaches) that we had something special. Just the chemistry, the unity, resiliency, the hard work, grinding things out, talent as well,” continued Hickey, who guided the Adams boys soccer team to the Division 1 state title in the fall of 2022. “The further we went the more we knew we could do it. Just the belief in the girls – it’s super special. This group is a special one. You get those every now and then and this one is one of them.
“We scrimmaged them (Hartland) early (in March),” noted Hickey. “Do you remember those freezing temps? There was a three-day window and we played in each of those days. A lot of teams didn’t. We decided to do it and I remember we beat Clarkston (in the season opener) and they were a good team. We did it and nobody was complaining. They just went out there and played. We were complaining as coaches. They just went out there and played hard and played the game. Honestly it was since Day 1.”
Adams picked up the early goal in the 17th minute. Senior Danielle Danko’s cross from the right side sailed into the box and Kekhoua, a senior, was left wide open. Kekhoua buried her header into the back of the net for what proved to be the game-winner with 23:46 left in the first half.
Adams outshot the Eagles 6-5 in the first half.
The Highlanders (16-2-2) put the game away with a second goal with 4:39 remaining in the contest. Danko again beat a couple of defenders on the left side before slipping a pass over to junior Sadie Rogers, who sent her opportunity into the back of the net.
Sophomore Lexi Calcamuggio notched her third postseason shutout over six games and her team’s eighth overall on the campaign. Adams outscored its six postseason opponents by a 15-4 margin, as the Highlanders picked up steam down the stretch for a 10-game win streak that ends with the state title trophy heading back to Rochester Hills.
“Our defense they kept everyone else under wraps,” said Calcamuggio, whose defense only conceded 14 goals all season over 20 games.
Hartland suffered a blow on May 7 with an injury to senior midfielder Katie Swirczek and had to shuffle its lineup around for the final stretch of the season. The Eagles went through some trails and several close games before going on their long run.
“That was hard because we were really hitting our stride and then we lose one of our top players,” offered Hartland coach Andrew Kartsounes. “We moved some girls around and Emma Kastamo finally filled in that spot at holding midfielder. We had a tie in there and a loss (1-0 to Livonia Stevenson) late in the regular season. But we regrouped and made a run at it.”
Hartland won the 2021 Division 1 state title in its first appearance in the state finals and the Eagles made a second trip in a four-year stretch. Hartland (16-4-3) just came up short this time around.
In a game with minimal quality chances, Adams outshot Hartland 11-9, including 5-3 with shots on frame, and even held a 7-2 edge on cornerkicks in the match.
Calcamuggio recorded three saves, while senior Jenna Brock also had three saves for Hartland.
The Eagles, who won the Kensington Lakes Activities Association-West Division this season, came out and out-possessed Adams the whole second half but could never find the back of the net after outscoring its opposition 11-6 over six tournament games.
“That’s the way soccer goes sometimes,” added Kartsounes.
