Here is an excerpt from Perry A. Farrell's high school football preview from his August 23, 2009 article in the Detroit Free Press:

Grosse Pointe North (8-3, 4-1)

Top players: DT/OT Michael Tolliver, RB Tommy Watkins, S Ryan Gregory, DE Greg Cox, S Troy Williams, DB Jajuan Henderson.

Strength: Running backs, defensive secondary.

Outlook: Quarterback A.J. Brooks broke his leg and missed last season. He has a good arm and excellent touch. Jordan Ulmer is a very physical player and Watkins can catch and run with the ball. Tolliver is 285 pounds and a three-year starter.
