Kosmo was holed up in his cave in northern Oakland County all weekend, but obviously he could still hear all the fuss regarding the Clarkston-Sterling Heights Stevenson semifinal game on Saturday at Troy Athens.
It's all anyone has talked about ever since, so Kosmo thought he'd check out the final minutes of the game for himself.
A whole novel could be written on what Kosmo thinks, so he'll try and shorten it to a pair of points.
One, Clarkston has every reason to feel it got cheated. The officiating in that last minute was beyond awful.
Second, the officials never should've had the opportunity to swing the game.
Contrary to what Kosmo main spy Keith D. reported on Tuesday, and Keith himself asked Kosmo to apologize to people on his behalf over this, Clarkston fumbled on second down with 38 seconds left, not third.
Please though, don't get on Keith too much. He had to phone in a story on a tight deadline just to make sure something got into Sunday's paper. It's easy to get distracted on details when you're frantically trying to get an article in.
Anyway, because it was second down, Clarkston head coach Kurt Richardson should've ordered his team to take a knee. At the very worst, Clarkston could've punted with under 10 seconds remaining, which would've killed the remaining time.
There aren't many finer men and coaches in the county than Richardson, in Kosmo's opinion. He's done way more right than wrong over the years, but he probably should've taken the knee.
No, it was not a fumble by running back Dakota Bender. It was admirable and rightful that Richardson trusted his players by running a play. He was down, but again, don't count on high school officials to get it right.
It's a thankless job where they're noticed only if they screw up. Just like people ask media to take it easy on high school players because they're not professional or college players, the same rings true for officials.
