Right now, if there's one high school athlete Kosmo would want to meet if he could ever venture out of his cave and also see through his paper bag, it would be Ava Doetsch of Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes.
Koz would want to ask her one question: "How in the world can it get any better the next three years?"
It's a facetious question of course, given I'm sure it can. But it'll certainly be hard for Doetsch to top her freshman year of athletics at WOLL.
In March, Doetsch was a starting guard on the basketball team that won a Class D state championship.
Not bad for a freshman.
That distinction was incredible enough, but Doetsch added it to it last Saturday when she scored the winning goal for the Lakers in their 2-1 win over Kalamazoo Hackett in the Division 4 state championship game.
In only its third year of existence as a program, WOLL/Clarkston Everest Collegiate is now the state's best.
Again, Doetsch wasn't some role player or freshman called up to sit on the bench for experience in either case.
She was a starter on two state championship teams in one year. As a freshman.
Wow.
Again, Kosmo would ask whether it can get any better the next three years. Of course, the answer is probably yes for Doetsch.
