In Kosmo's opinion, the first significant events of the winter sports season will take place this weekend.
The annual Oakland County Bowling tournaments will be held, with the boys taking place on Saturday at Wonderland Lanes in Commerce Twp. and the girls at Thunderbird Lanes in Troy.
For those who are snickering as to why Kosmo is so excited for these tournaments, then hush up.
First of all, how many people out there actually hate bowling? How can you not like going to an alley on a weekend with the family?
Not only that, but bowling has become a incredibly popular sport on the high school level.
You don't have to be a certain size or have a physical attribute to succeed, so it's no wonder that so many schools not only have teams, but have lots of participants on those teams.
From what Kosmo hears as well, people get pretty into these events, especially during the final match.
Family members and teammates go nuts when the ball is rolled down the lane, and a strike every time brings a reaction like the Tigers won the World Series.
Yes, it should be a fun two days for area bowlers.
Since it's going to be bitterly cold this weekend, what better place to be than the bowling alley?
