Two of Detroit's most accomplished high school football programs renewed their rivalry Friday evening when Martin Luther King visited Cass Tech. It was a tight contest for the most part, but the Technicians went on to score 20 unanswered points for a 20-7 victory over the Crusaders.

After a scoreless first quarter, King jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the second when quarterback and Illinois commit Darryl Flemister connected with De'Andre Williams for a 17-yard touchdown.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Technicians running back Julian Taylor raced down the sideline for a 47-yard touchdown, but a missed extra point kept the score at 13-7.

King looked to respond as they drove down the field late, but Flemister injured his shoulder and had to leave briefly. Flemister did return, but then he threw a costly interception to Cass Tech's Peyton Robinson.

This led to another touchdown run from Taylor, albeit shorter, that ultimately sealed the game. The Technicians' defense also stepped up as they finished with five takeaways.

In the end, Cass Tech is the team that improves to 5-0 as they have now won four straight contests against rival King.
