Every year in San Antonio, Texas, the nation's top 90 high school football players go against each other in an East vs. West showdown in the U.S Army All-American Bowl.

This year, Everett High offensive lineman John Montelus, who committed to play at Notre Dame, is in the All-American Bowl. The game is at 1 p.m. on Saturday and will be televised on NBC.

For the past 12 years, the All-American Bowl has been the nation's premier high school football game and has seen 175 players go on to play in the NFL, including Jets quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez.

The All-American Bowl also includes the nation's top 125 high school marching band musicians, who will perform during halftime.
