Small-town Kozinski helps younger players in senior season

In the small town of Edwardsburg, Michigan, Josh Kozinski was a star.

Edwardsburg, which has a population of just 1,259 people, saw Kozinski grow up as a tri-athlete, playing basketball, golf and tennis during his high school years. As a senior, he was named First-Team All-State for basketball.

Kozinski only had one scholarship offer – Central Michigan University. He took it as an opportunity.

Now, he is recognized in Mount Pleasant to over 20,000 Central Michigan University students.

“I didn’t know I would be a leader, it just kind of came,” Kozinski said. “I try to be vocal on the court and that helped me push being a leader of this team.
