Is the game at 7 or 7:30? And what is admission?

7:30 and cost is $ 8 at gate

Anyone got names of some of the participants? How many players does each School get invited

 

Your name has to be one of the most cleverly thought out names on here. :thumb:

Didn't see anything on this so I would start it. High scoring game with West coming out on top

Game story.

 

 

West wins Northern Kentucky East/West football all-star game

Very intense, chippy game. I'd say there were at least a dozen unsportsmanlike penalties between the two teams, and there were several blind "de-cleating" hits. And, I thought the two assistant coaches were going to come to blows after the West team blitzed on a FG attempt by the East, which apparently, is a no-no for this game.

 

Great environment, and it was nice to watch some football in June! Congrats to the West Team on the W!

....which is why they should simply stop playing this game. Too many people take it for more than it is, and instead of a "showcase", it becomes more. Further, it's on the coaches to see to it that the game is played the right way. If they can't, get 'em the hell off the field.

Nice pic of Boone County's Amadou Diaw taking a hand-off on the link Clyde provided.

No surprise about it being chippy. No accountability. No repercussions if you get ejected.

 

This is why you do not see D1 kids playing. Not worth the risk. Darn shame. Nice way to end a high school career for most.

They need to do things the right way with the coaching staff. They should have the two head coaches and the rest be assistants from staff's. Way to many head coaches on each staff which brings to many ego's into the mix. I saw 4 different head coaches at each others throats last night for no reason. If coaches can't keep control of their emotions how can they expect the players too???

It gets chippy because one team chooses to play by the rules laid out for the game and another pushes the envelope with no repercussion. I saw a blatant facemask not called and saw on more than one occasion where a defender pushed an offensive player in clear view of the officials and nothing was done.

 

The best way to handle all of this stuff is your team gets one warning and after that the kids are shown the sidelines where they can watch the remainder of the game.

 

The game itself is honestly pretty boring because the kids are in not in football shape. The coaches also have to do a better job of determining the kids that play in the game. An all star game loses a lot of luster when one team is forced to play a kid at QB that simply is far more productive as either a WR or RB. Another team sends 5 guys to the game and 3 of them cannot play due to injury. Have no problem including those kids because they honestly deserved the recognition, but 3 replacements should have been added if for no other reason than to add depth.

 

Game was very well promoted, but in the future I would suggest that someone realize that fans are there to watch the kids play football and not to watch some of the other shenanigans that went on.

This is the same type of stuff I used to see in pee wee football. One side plays within the rules and the other sees what they can get by with. Pretty bush move if you ask me and to be honest it is what got everything heated up from that point forward.

 

Also a nice job by Trosper to onside kick in an all star game when up by more than 3 scores. Have some class coach and remember it is about the kids and not pumping your ego.

So who were all the coaches?
