It's a wonderful time of year right now with the girls basketball season winding into its final week, boys basketball regionals coming up and an exciting and successful season for area hockey teams wrapping up this weekend at Compuware in Plymouth.
But another reason to get excited is that Monday will be a sign that warmer times are for sure ahead.
Monday is the first official day of practice for spring sports teams around the state, with baseball, softball, girls soccer, girls tennis, boys golf, boys and girls track and field and boys and girls lacrosse all officially beginning their seasons.
Who cares if many of those practices will have to be held indoors because of all the snow outside?
Even the sight of those teams having to get underway indoors means that soon there will be green grass and more sunshine outside shortly.
How sweet it will be.
- Kosmo is definitely not surprised that Birmingham Detroit Country Day and Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes are the only girls basketball teams from the county still left in the state tournament.
Both made the state finals last year (WOLL won Class D, Country Day lost in the Class B championship), and both were the clear best bets to get to East Lansing this year.
Looks like things are playing out to form.
