Detroit Renaissance repeats as PSL girls basketball champions

Division 1 No. 2-ranked Detroit Renaissance hasn’t lost this season, so the Phoenix weren’t about to let Detroit Cass Technical end their streak in the Detroit Public School League girls basketball championship game. Renaissance jumped out an 11-0 lead -- keeping the Technicians off the scoreboard for the first six minutes of the contest -- and coasted to a 56-25 victory. Junior point guard Christian Sanders, who was named Miss PSL Basketball, scored 15 points, tying for high-game honors with teammate Amyah Espanol, a senior point guard. Senior Kiyla Brooks and junior Anaya Hardy added six apiece as Renaissance grabbed its 19th win without a loss. Only four points separated the two teams the last time they met, a 50-46 Renaissance victory on Jan. 23. However, Cass Tech (10-9) committed 22 turnovers and shot just 18 percent from the floor  (making 10 of 55 attempts). The title was the second in a row for Renaissance and the third in four years, also winning in 2022 and 2020. Renaissance was forced to forfeit in the tournament in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak on the team.
