The Detroit Public School League final returns to Ford Field on Friday night, and the matchup is a familiar one. Undefeated Cass Tech (7-0) will face Detroit King (6-1) in a rematch of their Week 5 clash, which the Technicians won 20-7. That game marked the stiffest test Cass Tech has faced this season, and King will look to generate more offense in the second meeting as the two programs battle for the city championship at 7 p.m.
WATCH
• Gold Division Championship: Detroit Central (6-1) vs. Detroit Denby (5-2), 4 p.m.
• Blue Division Championship: Detroit Cass Tech (7-0) vs. Detroit Martin Luther King (6-1), 7 p.m.
History favors Cass Tech in these high-stakes rematches. The Technicians have won all five of their previous city championship game rematches, and they will aim to extend that streak tonight.
The Crusaders have defeated Cass Tech twice over the last five seasons but enter Friday on a four-game losing streak against their crosstown rival. King is coming off a dominant 49-0 victory over Detroit Southeastern, while Cass Tech rolled to a 67-0 win over Detroit Renaissance.
Senior receiver and defensive back Darryl Flemister, an Illinois commit, leads King’s attack. For Cass Tech, junior quarterback Donald Tabron II — a Texas A&M commit who threw four touchdown passes last week — and junior running back Julian Taylor anchor the Technicians’ high-powered offense.
