Semi-Final #2:

Like Division 1, the two best teams remaining will be meeting in the semi-final. This 1 pm game at Hazel Park has all the makings of a great game as the #1 ranked Detroit King Crusaders will meet #12 De La Salle with a chance to play at Ford Field the following Friday. King are the back-to-back defending champions, while De La Salle won the Division 2 title in 2014. King's only loss is to an out of state team, the Crusaders won a huge game that featured #1 Cass Tech vs. #2 Detroit King in week 8 of this season and haven't been challenged yet in the playoff with comfortable wins over; Ypsilanti Lincoln, East English Village Prep, and Edsel Ford. De La Salle cruised their district before engaging in a great game vs. Oak Park in which they won 14-7.

Prediction: King 16-13

Explanation: Both teams are playing their best and know this is the week with 100% focus and taking it play by play if they are to win this huge semi-final game.
