The regular season has come and gone for high school football, and count Kosmo among the thousands around the state excited for postseason play.
But before focusing on the playoffs, your all-knowing one wants to hand out his 3 Stars for Week 9.

Third star
The Holly football team
Kosmo can't remember when Dwight Eisenhower was President because he wasn't born, but that was the last time Holly won a league title in football until last Friday, when the Bronchos earned a share of the Flint Metro title with a win at Ortonville Brandon. Kudos to Ryan Culloty and his staff for the remarkable job they've done up there.

Second star
Kezlow Smith, Pontiac
One of the most productive players on a what's been a hot Pontiac offense of late, Smith ran for 172 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries in a 66-40 win over West Bloomfield. The Phoenix are now in the Division 1 state playoffs as a result.

First star
Al Fracassa, Birmingham Brother Rice
Who else could it be this week? The legend of Brother Rice became the first coach in state history and just the 10th in the country to reach 400 career wins after the Warriors crushed Harper Woods Chandler Park. It took longer than he would've liked, but it finally happened for the great Fracassa.
