Team Records & Season Context
Cass Tech Technicians (5-0, 3-0 PSL)
Cass Tech entered Week 6 as one of Michigan’s most dominant high school football programs, riding a 5-0 overall record and a perfect 3-0 mark in league play. Ranked No. 21 nationally, No. 1 in Michigan, and No. 1 in Class, the Technicians have been nothing short of unstoppable on both sides of the ball.
Their offense has been explosive, averaging an impressive 41.0 points per game, while their defense has stifled opponents to just 77 total points across five games. Cass Tech’s balanced attack — fueled by strong performances from players like #21 Kaden Johnson (79.0 rushing YPG) and #1 Corey Sadler Jr. (105.0 receiving YPG) — has made them a nightmare matchup for any opponent.
Western International Cowboys (1-4, 0-3 PSL)
The Cowboys came into this home matchup searching for answers. At 1-4 overall and 0-3 in conference play, Western International has struggled to gain momentum this season, being outscored 180-50 through five games. Ranked far below their opponent (#13,600 nationally, #480 in Michigan), they needed to pull off a major upset to salvage their season.
Despite the challenges, the Cowboys have shown flashes of potential at home and hoped that their home-field advantage could spark a turnaround against a powerhouse opponent.
