Detroit Cass Tech stuns Lakewood St. Edward with final play Hail Mary

Detroit Cass Tech put a jolt into the high school football world Friday night.

Crossing state lines to tangle with perennial Ohio powerhouse Lakewood St. Edward, the Technicians connected on fourth-and-27 Hail Mary on the game’s final play to escape with a 21-20 victory.

Being chased by three St. Edward defenders, quarterback Jalen Graham was forced to roll far to his left. But just before reaching the sideline, he let loose with an Aaron Rodgers-esque heave and senior Noah Stamps-Freeman hauled it in. Chaos ensued on the Cass Tech sideline.

The Technicians improved to 2-0 on the season after an opening-week 40-7 blowout of River Rouge.
