High School Football America
Growing up, the release of the PARADE All-America high school football team was always a big deal. Nowadays, everyone has their own version.
But today, the granddaddy of them all was released. The 47th PARADE All-America team honors 58 players from 24 states. The team was chosen by a panel of coaches, journalists, scouts and recruits.
Heading the list is Seantrel Henderson of Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minnesota, who has been chosen as PARADE's Player of the Year. The 6-8, 310-pound offensive lineman is the third player from the school to win the honor. Chris Weinke, the 2000 Heisman Trophy winner and current Minnesota Twin Joe Mauer won the award during their senior seasons.
Other top awards went to Mission Bay (San Diego, CA) High School's Dilon Baxter, who was named the Top All-Purpose Player; Jake Heeps of Skyline (Sammamish, WA is the Top Quarterback and Jordon Hicks of Lakota West (West Chester, OH) is the Top Linebacker.
