Saginaw United students and family marched with great pride and stride as they battled the chilly temperatures from the 2026 homecoming parade and tailgate. The Phoenix band and the Prancing Blaze led the march down Washington Ave as they made their way back to United to face off Carmen-Ainsworth.
The bitter cold did not keep fans for the Phoenix from filling the stands as they waited for half time, where the 2026 home coming King and Queen would be crowned. At the end of the first half United trailed by 6 to Ainsworth score 12-6, before starting the night’s celebratory crowning ceremony.
It was no surprise who the student body voted for to be their homecoming King and the stand erupted as Travon and his escorts made their way to center field. Cheers and screams of joy filled the cold night air.
As for who would be crowned queen seems to be a close match up although all the queens are worthy of the crown. Each having exceptional academic records and some already attending HBCU like Spellman and Howard.
Although it is unclear as to what started several fights to erupt during the second half, the game ended with Phoenix taking another big loss.
The final game of the season is also celebratory as it is scheduled to honor the 2026-27 senior class, where those extraordinary students will receive honors for their hard work and dedication to their advancement in life.
