Known for being all-business on the gridiron and keeping his emotions in check no matter what the situation, Southfield A&T's sensational senior quarterback Isaiah (Zeke) Marshall let it all hang out and dripped with flair and finesse in his first set of interviews following A&T's stunning 36-32 come-from-behind win in the Division 1 state football finals over a nationally-lauded Belleville squad Sunday night down at Ford Field.
The Southfield A&T Warriors ground four minutes off the clock, scoring on an Isaiah Marshall 11-yard touchdown run with 47 seconds left, then got an interception from Dorian Freeman with 10 ticks left to close out a 36-32 win over the two-time defending champs, Belleville, and claim their own program’s first-ever state title.
SOUTHFIELD Southfield A&T head coach Aaron Marshall described his squad after their regional championship win over West Bloomfield Nov. 18 as a “team of firsts,” in reference to the school’s first-ever regional title and state finals berth.
With the elation still fresh from his Southfield A&T squad's exhilarating 40-35 last-second, come-from-behind win over West Bloomfield on Saturday in the Division 1 final four, Warriors senior defensive lineman Reggie Gardner kept the good vibes going through the end of the weekend and committed to Eastern Michigan for his college football.
