Monday's first night of the boys basketball state tournament was somewhat tame as far as big surprises go but it obviously wasn't in regard to great games and individual performances. It was a good start to the tournament for sure and here are Kosmo's 3 stars for the night. Third star Nick Owens, Clarkston - It sounds like Adams left Owens open and he made the Highlanders pay, draining five 3-pointers and scoring 23 points in a nice opening night win over Adams. Second star Jake Daniels, Holly - The bad news is that Kosmo can't praise Daniels anymore this season after Holly's season-ending loss at Grand Blanc. He was so consistent this year and was great again on Monday, scoring 27 points. The good news is that he is a junior and Kosmo can follow him again next year. First star Scott McSweeney, Novi Frankin Road Christian - Kosmo doesn't care how small the schools were when Franklin Road met Lutheran Westland. 48 points and 16 rebounds is impressive at any school size and that is exactly the unreal performance McSweeney turned in to lead his team to a win.
