Small-school back tearing it up
Petrolia, Texas, running back Ross Harrison simply tore up district 11-A last season as the Pirates stormed to a 12-2 record and the state quarterfinals.
Schools across Texas and Oklahoma took notice of the star player last season and have continued to follow the 6-0, 195-pound back.

“The season is going great so far,” Harrison said. “The recruiting process has been going alright as well.”
While he has yet to receive his first offer, he has received phone calls from coaches at Oklahoma State, TCU, SMU and Baylor.
Harrison was voted the Texas Sports Writers Association Class A player of the year last season as he rushed for over 2,900 yards and an amazing 40 touchdowns. He was also named to the all-state team for the second consecutive year.
He lists his top five as Baylor, SMU, TCU, North Texas and Oklahoma State.
