Tech to a 38-12 record during his time at

district and regional championships in
2017. Cass Tech was on pace to once again
contend for a Michigan state champi-
onship in 2020, but King and his twin
brother, Kobe, saw their high school ca-
reers end when the state paused high
school athletics in November due to the
pandemic. Play resumed in January, but
by then the Kings had graduated and were
preparing to enroll early at Penn State.
Without their two best players, the Tech-
nicians lost to Belleville, 43-16, in the Di-

seasons, Kalen King was rarely challenged
