Football season may have ended over a month ago, but that still hasn't prevented Madison Heights Madison senior Valdez Showers from receiving a nice honor. The senior defensive back/running back for the Eagles who has committed to Florida has been named the state's Gatorade Player of the Year.
Showers soon will be presented the award in an official ceremony at the school.
- In other high school football news, the annual high school all-star game this summer has been moved from Michigan State to Central Michigan. The big reason is that U2 will be having a concert at Spartan Stadium, which will result in new sod being put in at Spartan Stadium. The sod needs time to take shape, so nobody can play on it until MSU's season begins in the fall. The players participating in the game are supposed to be announced on Sunday.
- The way its going right now, Kosmo wouldn't be terribly surprised to see the Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes girls basketball team go unbeaten this season. It's not out of the realm of possibility. The Lakers have destroyed traditional Class D power Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart and Royal Oak Shrine this season and have three of the state's best guards in Class D right now in senior Lauren Robak and sophomores Ava Doetsch and Lexie Robak. The Lakers will be even more dangerous when Oakland Christian transfer Carlee Cottrell is eligibile and if senior guard Meghan Topolewski comes back from injury. In fact, WOLL might be able to win the state title if it were in Class C. That's how good the Lakers are right now.
