For the last five years, the Patriot has been carrying a Detroit Catholic High School League Football Game of the Week. We are pleased to announce that we will bring you basketball games in the state playoffs beginning next week. Our coverage will kick off Tuesday March 12th from Calihan Hall as U of D Jesuit faces Roseville in a Division One Quarterfinal contest. U of D is the last CHSL school remaining in the hunt for a state title. The Patriot will follow the Cubs as far as their run lasts which could include a Semifinal matchup Friday March 15th at 2 PM and the state championship game Saturday March 16th at 12:15 PM. Check back with us throughout the week for updates on coverage.
U of D Jesuit checks into play at 23-2 having beaten Oak Park, Detroit Renaissance, Detroit Mumford, Warren De La Salle, and Grosse Pointe North in the state playoffs so far. They are looking for their second state title in history and first since 2015. Roseville holds a 20-4 record and secured wins over L’Anse Creuse, St. Clair Shores Lake Shore, Fraser, Troy, and Anchor Bay to reach the Quarterfinal.
Jeremy Otto and Chad Bush will bring you all the action on Tuesday night. Otto has served as the lead play-by-play announcer for the CHSL Football Game of the Week since its inception and also calls Detroit Mercy Men’s Basketball on television. Bush has served as both a color analyst and play-by-play announcer over the last five years on the Patriot’s football coverage. He is the long-time voice of Eastern Michigan University basketball on the radio as well.
We want to thank our sponsors who made this new venture possible including Alliance Catholic Credit Union, the U of D Jesuit Dad’s Club, and DiMaggio Fine Art & Jewelry. Our pregame coverage will begin at 7 PM on Tuesday only on FM 101.5, AM 1400, and patriotdetroit.com. Be sure to follow us on social media for updates on upcoming games and other behind the scenes coverage throughout the week.
