Much progress has been made so far in our SWVA versus NET ALL-STAR Senior game. The game will be played at Science Hill's new Kermit Tipton 's 5 million dollar stadium. Great turf,just got to see it and walk on it today. WJHL did a press conference with coaches and gathered info about the game. It will air tonight at 6pm and 11pm sports times if any are interested in knowing more. Thanks.
When is game to be played, if I can possibly get there at all I will go.

If the kids from DB play they have amazing speed, Elizabethton, has good speed and so does Tenn. High and Science Hill. I don't know if every school will be represented I would hope so. There are several Sullivan County players who are very good and sometimes get overlooked maybe they can get a chance to show what they can do.
There should be 25 Tenn schools represented.Quote:

I think this is a neat concept. To see all the different helmets on the field at the same time will be really cool. Kudos to the people who put this thing together.
