Saginaw High has won multiple state championships in basketball.

The Trojans then repeated in 2008, beating the Detroit Pershing Doughboys, to capture another Class A state championship title. Saginaw has also won championships in 1942, 1962, and 1996. It has been a hot recruiting ground for major colleges.
