SAC Sound-off: Meet Kevin Beazley
April 4, 2012
Detroit Catholic Central senior Kevin Beazley is one of Michigan's top wrestlers and finished his high school career in the best way possible -- with a win. After finishing runner-up at 171 pounds at last season's MHSAA Division 1 Finals, Beazley won the 189-pound title last month at The Palace of Auburn Hills. He also helped the Shamrocks to the Division 1 team championship the weekend before.
Kevin Beazley, Detroit Catholic Central senior
- Sport: Wrestling
- Non-sports activities: Brothers Club, Monogram Club, Student Council
- Favorite class: English
- Must-see TV: "The Big Bang Theory"
- One shining moment: Beating (Lowell's) Gabe Dean, the No. 2-ranked wrestler in the country. (NOTE: This was submitted before Beazley's championship run.)
- What’s next: I'm going to Old Dominion University next year to wrestle, and I will be studying biology, hopefully on the path to becoming a med student at the Eastern Virginia Medical School.
- My favorite part of game day is: ... the mental preparation I go through. Getting in the zone in a corner of the gym, listening to my iPod. Focusing and visualizing are so much fun for me.

Performance of the Week: Detroit Cass Tech's Stevie Hall
January 9, 2026
Stevie Hall ♦ Detroit Cass Tech
Junior ♦ Basketball
The 6-foot-2 guard scored the game-winning basket in Detroit Cass Tech's 54-52 victory over Cleveland Central Catholic during the Dec. 29 Detroit Public School League Holiday Classic. He also went over 1,000 career points during that game, which he finished with 32 points, seven assists and five steals as the Technicians broke a two-game losing streak.
Hall followed that milestone a day later with 31 points in Cass Tech's 82-42 win over Macomb L'Anse Creuse North at the Motor City Roundball Classic at Ferndale, a win that gave his father and coach Steve Hall 200 leading the Technicians boys basketball program. Stevie Hall – who already has received several Division I college basketball offers – has scored 30 more more points in six straight games, and Cass Tech is 5-3.
