Warren De La Salle football coach Dan Rohn stopped by FOX 2 to talk about the big game.
“We’re going to have a tailgate, announce the team and try to make it,” Rohn said. “We don’t want it to be just about football, we want it to be about the great tradition of the Catholic League.”
Catholic League 100 years of tradition.
“We’re supported by Nativity in Detroit, even though the city of Detroit still doesn’t have as many Catholic schools as it once did,” he said. “But the support of being born in Detroit, Catholic Central, De La Salle, with everyone who was a part of it at one time. We have to hold on to it. We have to honor the players and people who were a part of it and built it. Great program and great tradition that we have now.”
