In 2013 the Martin Luther King High School Cougars football team won the Philadelphia Public League Class AAA championship on Saturday with a 32-7 victory over a Mastery North team to which it lost earlier in the season.
Presenting the championship plaque to Coach Ed Dunn, Principal William Wade, the team and its supporters on the Northeast High School field, PL Executive Director Robert Coleman noted the accomplishment's significance.
"You showed how two schools can come together, two neighborhoods can come together, families can come together and win," he said.
