Thanks, @Colonels_Wear_Blue for the words and for tuning in. Yes, I’ve noticed the struggle with the roster, I’m hoping to get it before tomorrow…but that isn’t likely. 
 

@theguru this link should work. http://bluebirdsradio.com

AS A REMINDER TO THOSE TUNING IN:

There will be a play button next to a song, even though it may look like you’re playing the song…it will connect to my broadcast. Weird issue I haven’t been able to solve. 

I am leaning towards making the 2 hour drive and taking this one in again.

That's a high school football fan right there.

An important part. The scholarship money. Ticket sales from the game go toward $500 scholarships given to 20 players. Bigger the crowd the better it is for the people pulling off this heroic effort every year for the kids.

Didn't know that. That's fantastic. Thanks for the information. 

Change of work hours tomorrow will keep me home tonight.

 

Kitchens with a big touchdown catch. West 7 to 6

At halftime: West has the 17-14 lead over East. Luke Schneider with the East touchdown, and Kolton Smith ran it in for the two point try. 

Kolton Smith announced the MVP as his East All Stars beat the West by a score of 28-17. 

 

Thank you all for tuning in if you did - was a difficult call, but a blast. 

So East nabbed their "every few years" title in the All Star game. If the recent history holds true, West is the favorite for the next few years.

Kolt Smith reminded me of Jared Lorenzen tonight. Big kid that couldn't be tackled and was throwing bombs. Incredible for a kid who had surgery on his foot in October.
