Detroit Southeastern forfeits PSL semifinal win
Detroit Southeastern has been forced to forfeit its Detroit Public School League semifinal victory over Detroit Cody last Friday because it used an ineligible player. Cody (4-4) will now play Detroit King (6-2) for the PSL title on Saturday at Detroit Renaissance at 4 p.m.
Southeastern coach Donshell English took blame for his team's forfeit.
"I didn't file the proper paperwork," English said. "I never filed paperwork for a player who hadn't played before. But paperwork is paperwork, and it is what it is. He never played before. He wasn't even a starter. He came from another school. It's a technicality."
The technicality cost Southeastern (7-1) a chance to defend its title. Southeastern had defeated King 14-7 earlier this season and defeated Cody 28-7 in the semifinal.
