All-Star Game
While the playoffs for the high school football season have ended, players from area high schools will have one more shot on the gridiron this season.
A total of 117 athletes from 67 high schools will play in the All-Star game. Players from across San Antonio will comprise two teams coached by area high school coaches.
Che Hendrix, head coach at Boerne High School, will coach Team Black, while Blaine Pederson from Madison High School will coach Team Gold.
Players are nominated for the All-Star game — celebrating its 46th anniversary — by their coaches and then selected by a committee of broadcasters, journalists and former coaches.
A goal of the game is to not only allow players to showcase their talent but also increase their chances of securing a scholarship.
