After Week 1, Kosmo has to admit he was laughing a bit at the Pontiac Phoenix. Pontiac lost its season opener to an improved, but still not formidable North Farmington team, 9-7, so Koz thought it was going to be a long year for Pontiac.
Kosmo still thought that after the Phoenix barely beat Bay Cit John Glenn last week.
Well, the only ones laughing now are the Phoenix after what took place on Friday.
Improbably, Pontiac went into Bloomfield Hills Lahser, state semifinalists in Division 3 and OAA Blue champions last year, and won.
The Phoenix recorded a 13-7 win over the Knights behind a sterling defensive effort that forced four Lahser turnovers.
Who knows what this means the rest of the year for Pontiac, which likely cost Lahser a chance to host three playoff games like it did last year.
Regardless, the Phoenix served notice that they're a team not to laugh at anymore
