For the third straight year Walled Lake Western will be represented on the Detroit Free Press All-State Football Dream Team.

Western Alum James King #39
The lone Walled Lake player to make the list was James King coming in at #39.
King (Walled Lake Western Class of 2001) – Did a little bit of everything on the field for Warriors’ 1999 state-championship squad, excelling at running back, slot back, linebacker and safety. In college, King was a four-year starter and All-Mid-American Conference linebacker at Central Michigan. He was signed by the NFL Cleveland Browns as a strong safety before his career ended due to a legal issue.
