James Ross, #6: Brother Rice Game 'Set Us Apart'

students and alumni love the school, and the football parents love and support their Eaglets. While the team played on the field, Patch went into the stands to tell the stories of the parents who help make everything possible. The result is a collection of profiles, Eaglets in the Crowd.

Name: James Ross

Hometown: Southfield

Connection: Son , #6, is a senior, captain and linebacker/tight end. 

Favorite moment from the season: "That win Out in the rain, it doesn't get better than that. It set us apart. Also, winning the Central Division (), because it was the first time (St. Mary's) had won since we've been here."

What makes St. Mary's special? "The camaraderie. That team loves each other. There's no bickering. It's a close-knit group. The school takes care of the boys and makes them feel comfortable. It's a real homey atmosphere."
