Flint Beecher v.s. DEPSA 2017 Class C semi-finals

The boys who are back to back state champions from Flint Beecher High School head to the Breslin Center at Michigan State University again for the seventh time out of eight years today.

This Class C semi-final game will tip off at 1p.m and be a face-off between Detroit Edison Public School Academy with a season record 15-11 and Flint Beecher 21-5.

After DEPSA's girl basketball team won a state title of their own last Saturday, the boys plan to do the same after the defeat of Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central for the advancement of their first state semifinal in school history.

Both of these teams have something to prove today with the Beecher Bucs going for the 3peat they lost their chances at in 2014 and the Detroit Pioneers making history in attempt to bring home their first state championship.
