There are always pleasant surprises during a sports season, but rarely are there totally surprises. In Kosmo's eyes, that's what Waterford Mott's boys basketball team has become.
The K-Man must admit he didn't think Mott would be a big force this season in the newly formed KLAA North. Maybe they could win a game or two here and there, but the KLAA North was Lakeland's to lose.
That was Kosmo's thinking until Friday, when the Corsairs scored a whopping 31 points in the fourth quarter to win at Lakeland and move to 8-0 in league play.
It was the second time this season Mott beat Lakeland (the only two losses for the Eagles), meaning the league title is all but theirs even though there are a couple of weeks left in the regular season.
That would've been hard to believe at the start of the season, but kudos should go out to all the Corsairs.
— As good as Kosmo feels for Waterford Mott, he feels equally bad for Holly, which lost an anticipated boys basketball game on Friday by one point to Fenton. The game essentially was for the Flint Metro title, so it was no doubt a bummer for the Holly community.
However, the good news for the Bronchos is that they are in the same district as Fenton in the state playoffs, so if they meet again, they can win the one that really counts.
