Championship Saturday
The Catholic League and Detroit Public School League football championships will be played on Saturday. The Catholic League will hold its two title games inside Ford Field and The PSL will hold its two outdoors at Detroit Renaissance.
What's unfortunate is that the starting times are identical. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep will play Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard for the Intersectional title at 1 p.m. and Detroit Catholic Central will face Orchard Lake St. Mary's in the A-B Division title game at 4. The PSL B Division championship game features Detroit Central (6-1) against Detroit Douglass (6-1) at 1 p.m. and the A Division matches Detroit King (6-2) againt Detroit Cody (4-4) at 4. Tickets for the Catholic League games are $6 in advance and can be purchased at participating schools. Admission price is $8 at the door. Admission for the PSL title games is $8. Gabriel Richard (7-1) is looking for its first league championship since 1972 and Notre Dame Prep (6-2) is seeking its third title in the last four years. Catholic Central (8-0) defeated St. Mary's 27-0 earlier in the season and is seeking its 21st title, St. Mary's its ninth. The 37th annual Prep Bowl will honor the Soup Bowl and Goodfellow Game champions from 50 years ago, Detroit St. Ambrose. Members of that team along with coach Tom Boisture and Rick Gosselin (author of the book Goodfellows which depicted that '59 team) will be honored before the A-B championship game. Notre Dame Prep defeated Gabriel Richard 52-14 earlier in the season so my pick is Notre Dame Prep by 13. Catholic Central has been dominant on defense all season so I'll take C.C. by 10. In the PSL I like Central to defeat Douglass by six points. Douglass has played well defensively (6-0 victorry over Detroit Osborn in the semifinals) most of the season but Central has played a more diffciult schedule. And King is an overwhelming favorite to win its third title in the last four years. Detroit Southeastern was expected to play King for the title but had to forfeit last week's PSL semifinal game against Cody because it used an ineligible player. I'll go with King by 13 over Cody.Comments
