For eons, Kosmo has thought that without question, the best boys basketball league in the state was the Detroit Public School League. That may not necessarily be true year to year, but for the most part, the PSL is where it's at. However, not this year.
Nope, the best boys hoops league in the state this year resides in Oakland County in the form of the Oakland Actitivies Association Red division.
It drives Kosmo nuts when coaches say things like "Every game is a tough game in this league" or "There are no nights off in this league," but sadly, those cliches ring true this year in the OAA Red.
Clarkston is unbeaten and ranked No. 3 in the state. Oak Park is a talented team that has one of the state's top seniors in K'Allante Miller, who has signed with Central Michigan. West Bloomfield has a solid group of individuals that forms a great team, one which beat Oak Park on Monday. Pontiac Northern is Pontiac Northern, Southfield also has talent (especially in sophomore guard Carleton Brundidge), Southfield-Lathrup is solid, Pontiac Central can beat anybody on a given night, while North Farmington has one of the area's best players in Kyle Vinales.
Yep, this should be a fun few weeks in the OAA Red, where literally every game is important
