NORTHVILLE, Mich. — The Northville Mustangs football season came to a close Friday night in Michigan, as Detroit Cass Tech held off a late push and won the MHSAA Division 3 playoff game 40-30.

The game stayed close into the fourth quarter. Cass Tech was up by nine points with a little more than six minutes on the clock when the Technicians turned to their junior running back to burn time. Instead he broke loose on a 20-yard scoring run, and that touchdown put the game out of reach for Northville.

The running back finished with four touchdowns on the night.

Cass Tech now moves on in a bracket that keeps shrinking. After this weekend, only four teams will remain in each 11-player division, and the last 32 teams statewide are chasing a trip to Ford Field in Detroit for the state finals on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28.

For Northville, the loss ends a fall in which the Mustangs won a district title and pushed deep into the state tournament.
