First of all, Kosmo wishes everyone out there a happy Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully the weather cooperates and people can finally enjoy some sun, although while doing so please remember why we celebrate this holiday. If not for the brave men and woman who have sacrificed their lives in our country's history, we couldn't enjoy cookouts and other great things about this weekend.
Second, when the weekend ends, an underrated time of year for the high school sports will begin.
The state playoffs for baseball, softball and girls soccer start on Tuesday, and it's truly a wonderful three weeks of the season. It's a great way to close out the prep sports year in what truly is a unique postseason.
It's different in the spring because it's the preps season, fall or winter included, where the most meaningful games take place in the best weather. With seniors done with school also, they can fully concentrate on their sport. Some coaches don't like that because they prefer their athletes to be in a routine, but Kosmo thinks it's a plus to just worry about playing the sport and have all the school stuff done with.
The K-Man can't wait to see what happens in the next three weeks.
