Maj. Gen. Mark A. Brilakis, commanding general of Marine Corps Recruiting Command, and Marines attending the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl East team’s final practice discuss their game predictions at Fullerton College in Fullerton, Calif., Jan. 4. The Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl brings together 90 high school athletes from across the country who have demonstrated success both on and off the field. The bowl will bring selected players together with U.S. Marines and high school football coaches to develop skills not only important to football, but throughout life, such as leadership, self-confidence and teamwork. The 2014 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl will be held on Jan. 5 at 6 p.m. in Carson, Calif. The game will be played at the StubHub Center and aired live on Fox Sports 1.
