As if Orchard Lake St. Mary's senior linebacker James Ross hadn't accomplished enough this season by helping the Eaglets to the Division 3 state title and earning all-state honors, he received an honor few around the country do on Friday.
Ross on Friday was selected to play in the prestigious U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 7 in San Antonio, which is the most reknown high school football all-star game in the country.
The game will feature the best high school football players from around the country, so if there were any doubts as to just how great of a high school player Ross has been for St. Mary's, than those can't be in play anymore now.
Michigan and head coach Brady Hoke are certainly lucky to have him, and Ross will get to show the nation just why on Jan. 7.
