On Friday, Dec. 2 during the Mercer Island High School winter sports assembly, senior Jeff Lindquist was honored for being chosen to play in the Semper Fidelis All American Bowl in January 2012.

The event, it's first ever, is being put on by the U.S. Marine Corps and Junior Rank Sports.

During the assembly Lindquist was honored with his jersey for the game by Junior Ranks' Mark McMillan.
