Shamrock fans show their spirit for Novi school during entire championship game.
Even though Novi's Catholic Central fell short in its bid to win its 12th state championship on Saturday, Shamrock pride was front and center at Ford Field. Catholic Central High School lost to Detroit Cass Tech, 49-13, but the thousands that showed up wearing blue and white said they were proud of the squad’s effort and entire run through the post-season. “We’re fortunate to have been here,” said Father Dennis Kauffman, Detroit Catholic Central’s director of school improvement. “You look at the number of schools in the state of Michigan, we were one of 16 to make it this far. It’ll be hard to get that message across to the kids, because they wanted to win like everybody else.” The backing for Detroit Catholic Central came from more than …

DETROIT – The Catholic Central High School football team hasn’t had a day this bad in more than 40 years. The Shamrocks suffered its worst loss since 1971 on high school football’s biggest stage, falling to Detroit Cass Tech 49-13 Saturday at the Division 1 State Championships at Ford Field. “Today, we just came unraveled,” said Tom Mach, Catholic Central's head coach. For Mach, it was the first time in 36 years as the Shamrocks coach that an opponent forced a running clock, a 35-point or greater deficit in the second half, against his team. Novi's Catholic Central (12-2) looked nothing like the heavy favorite it was coming into the game. “We got outplayed today,” Mach said. “I was very proud of our team throughout the whole year, but we …
