Crowd of 250 honor the life of murdered Cass Tech football coach Dennis Smith
The vigil for a slain football coach and beloved mentor Coach Smitty or Buster as he was known, was held Wednesday near Detroit Mumford High School near his home.
Dennis Smith s impact on the field was seen in the devotion shown off of it. I knew he was well-loved, but I didn’t know to this extent, said Alenna Spearman, Smith s mother. But that was just his nature - to protect everybody and take care of everybody.
