The thought of Birmingham Brother Rice not qualifying for the state football playoffs might be like saying Armageddon is upon us, but it looks as if that's exactly the case right now with the Warriors.
Brother Rice has gotten off the worst-possible start, dropping it's opening two games to Detroit Martin Luther King and Toledo St. Francis.
If the Warriors advanced to the playoffs now, Kosmo might have to think about taking the bag off of his head, because that's how amazed he'd be.
Brother Rice has to go 6-1 the rest of the season to qualify for the playoffs, a tall order with its remaining schedule.
The Warriors next week have to play Highland Park, which is definitely not chopped liver.
Then, Brother Rice gets into its league schedule, with games against traditional powerhouses Catholic Central, St. Mary's and Warren De La Salle await.
Kosmo can't remember the last time Brother Rice didn't make the playoffs (he believes 1998 was the last year Brother Rice wasn't in the postseason).
Barring a miraculous turn of events, it appears the state playoffs this year won't feature mighty Brother Rice.
Armageddon indeed.
- Well, just when Kosmo thinks Pontiac will get it's lunch handed to it moving from the OAA Blue to the OAA Red, the Phoenix go out and win at Southfield-Lathrup and then destroy a Troy Athens team many think is the most improved team in the county this year. Goes to show what Kosmo knows. As a result, Pontiac's game at home with Lake Orion on Friday has gone from a so-so matchup to arguably the game of the week in the county this week. Wisner should be rocking Friday night, no doubt about it.
