Doesn't matter if it's smaller high-school sports, or more high-profile sports, because there's one prominent theme now for the entire high school sports season.
It's time to get it on.
The good times are definitely here, because the season crescendo, aka the playoffs, have arrived.
Bowling and cheerleading regionals and team state wrestling finals are this weekend, while the playoffs for girls basketball and boys hockey begin on Monday. The boys basketball playoffs start a week later, so if anyone can't get into high school sports this time of year, then something is wrong.
As always, tune to the pages of the Oakland Press and www.miprepzone.com for the best preps sports coverage.
— Kudos to Madison Heights Bishop Foley, which advanced to the Catholic League boys basketball finals this Sunday. The Ventures will meet Detroit Loyola in the C-D final at Calihan Hall. They'll be the only Oakland County team at Calihan, so Kosmo hopes the Ventures do the area proud. Then again, they've already done so by advancing this far.
— That was quite a riveting story involving Birmingham Brother Rice and Birmingham Marian ski coach Robert Rhoades last week. While doing a training run with his team before Monday's state finals, Rhoades fell and suffered a serious back injury. He was in the hospital when Marian won its first ever state title, so well done to the Mustangs for pulling together for their coach like that. Here's wishing a speedy recovery to Coach Rhoades, one of the great men in high school skiing.
