“We came down the steps, the entire mall stopped and cheered, they were introduced on stage and given wonderful, wonderful gifts,” said Lisa Phillips, principal of Cass Technical High School.

This comes after Cass Tech beat Hudsonville on the other side of the state to claim their first Division I title in nearly a decade. They were also honored with a parade through downtown Detroit last week.
