This is a clip from a 1995 broadcast from WJBK Channel 2 in Detroit, Michigan. During the sports broadcast for the evening, it featured highlights from the 1995 PSL championship game with #1 Detroit Cooley (19-0) vs. #3 Detroit Pershing (16-3) at Cobo Arena.
This game was the end of an era for PSL basketball. From 1981 to 1995, the PSL had a team either win the state championship (eight state championships) or finish second in the state (11 runners-up finishes). In 1987, 1989, 1991, and 1994 the state champions and runner-up both hailed from the PSL. Since 1995, the PSL has only had five teams (Central, Douglass, Henry Ford, Pershing, and Western) win state championships in boys basketball.
