Action from the MHSAA D1 Competitive Cheer District held at Troy High School on Friday, Feb. 16, 2024. Rochester Adams won the event with 794.18 points edging out Stoney Creek's 793.56.

Both admitted it was one of the best hugs ever shared between uncle and nephew. Just moments after running in the game-winning touchdown in the final tick left on the clock in last Saturday’s 40-35 semifinal win over West Bloomfield, Southfield A&T senior star Isaiah Marshall launched himself into the arms of his uncle and head coach, Aaron Marshall, for a prolonged embrace.
Isaiah Marshall churned the final yard across the goal line for a touchdown as time expired, giving the Southfield A&T Warriors a 40-35 win over West Bloomfield in the D1 semifinals, and a berth in the state finals at Ford Field for the first time ever.
