Detroit Cesar Chavez quarterback Omar Salih and receiver Nate Drew threw themselves into the MHSAA and national record books Friday.
Salih completed 28 of 45 passes for 674 yards and nine touchdowns in a 64-41 win over Mayville. Drew caught 16 of those passes for 456 yards and seven scores.
The yardage and touchdown totals for both are MHSAA records, and Drew's yardage also tied the national record for one game.
We've cut and clipped together those seven touchdown passes. See below:

August 30, 2024
In celebration of the MHSAA’s 100th anniversary, we’ll be posting a photo each week on our social media accounts, accompanied by a prompt for high school sports fans.
Following each post, we will feature the photo on our website, along with additional details.
This week, we’re sharing a photo from the 1995 Class CC Football Final at the Pontiac Silverdome, where the Eagles of Detroit St. Martin dePorres defeated Whittemore-Prescott 14-6. Detroit St. Martin dePorres went on to secure three more football titles under coach Greg Carter, and though the school closed in 2005, remains tied for seventh in MHSAA 11-player history with 13 championship game appearances and tied for third with 12 Finals titles.
The MHSAA Football Finals were played at the Silverdome from 1976 until 2004. Since 2005, the 11-Player Football Finals have been played at Ford Field in Detroit.
