State Football Finals

Friday we went to Ford Field in downtown Detroit to watch Midland play Detroit Martin Luther King in the division 2 state finals.  The news story is here.

We weren't expecting much ahead of time when we saw the size of the Crusader's team.  We were pleasantly surprised when Midland took a 14-0 lead and played quite well in the first half.  They eventually led 21-7 before everything fell apart.  A couple interceptions returned for touchdowns and the Chemics' inability to stop the Crusaders led to a 47-21 final that conformed to our expectations much more than the first half did.  The state finals is always a big deal, but this was especially so because it was the first time a team from the Detroit Public School League won the state title.
