Getting unfairly lost in the shuffle of a dreadful Birmingham Groves campaign on the local prep gridiron is the performance of Falcons junior running back Ross Williams.

Groves is 0-5, but Williams has proven one of the most explosive backfield threats in all of Metro Detroit.

In the Falcons' loss to Ferndale on Friday night, Williams went over the 220-yard marker for the second straight week, toting the rock 25 times for 225 yards.

Last week, he ran for 232 yards and a trio of touchdowns in his team's 38-33 defeat to Hazel Park.

In other words, Williams has been downright scary whenever he's touched the pigskin this fall.

As a super soph last season, he started at cornerback on the Falcons OAA Blue championship squad.

Most likely, Williams will end his career at Groves in 2014 as the school's all-time leading rusher.

To say he's a speedster may be an understatement – back in the spring he made it to the state track and field finals as a sprinter.

It's sad that this talented young man and his dazzling antics running the football this year are being overlooked by the fact that his team is struggling to find its way into the win column.

Hopefully, we'll see Williams racking up the yardage and the touchdowns for a winning Falcons ball club in 2013.
