The Michigan High School Athletic Association has announced that the state girls and boys basketball finals, both of which are currently held at Michigan State University's Breslin Center, will remain at Breslin Center until 2017.
The organization announced the six-year contract extension early on Thursday.
In Kosmo's view, this is a good move. The central location and facility is ideal for the event, and it's good to have continuity. It's hurt the girls a little bit in recent years moving the event every couple of years from Mt. Pleasant to East Lansing, then to Ypsilanti and then back to East Lansing.
Now, this takes any uncertainty out of the equation.
- All eyes this weekend will be on Battle Creek when the state team wrestling finals take place at Kellogg Arena. As for Kosmo's prediction, he'd be stunned if No. 1 and defending state champion Novi Detroit Catholic Central and No. 2 Oxford didn't meet in the state final late Saturday afternoon.
The Shamrocks and Wildcats have been the two best teams and on a collision course all season, and it would only be fitting for them to decide the state title.
Given the way each has wrestled this season, it'd be an upset if the matchup didn't take place.
