Detroit High School Sports This Week
DETROIT — 9/19/2026
Three DPSCD football games last week were decided by 40 points or more: Central 55-0 over Pershing, Martin Luther King Jr. 55-6 over Henry Ford, and Cass Technical 52-0 over the Mumford/Marygrove co-op team, which fields one team under both school names. This week the district has 49 games scheduled, 13 Monday and 15 Thursday, with the co-op team hosting Cass Technical Monday and traveling to Western International Friday. Ten games carry conflicting times, venues or opponents — Tuesday's volleyball slate carries four of them, each match listed at two start times, and Frederick Douglass Academy is listed against two different Thursday opponents at the same hour. None is resolved here. Two more entries are simply carried as the feed reports them: a Thursday tennis match listed at 4 a.m., and two Western International swim meets listed with no school name.
