MONTGOMERY – The Alabama High School Athletic Association on Saturday announced the athletes and coaches for the football, cross country and volleyball All-Star teams.
Locally, Hewitt-Trussville landed two players on the football team and a runner on the boys cross country team. David Dobbs was named All-Star coach of the north girls cross country team.
North-South all-star squads for the upcoming 60th AHSAA North-South All-Star Football Game have been selected. The two 37-memeber teams, comprised of 2019 graduating seniors, were announced by Jamie Lee, director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA) Tuesday.
The AHSADCA, which operates under the auspices of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) will also host all-star games in baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ basketball, volleyball, and boys’ and girls’ cross country during the All-Star Week. Lee, who also released the North-South Volleyball and Cross Country All-Star teams and coaches Friday, announced plans to add all-star competitions for tennis and golf for the first time at the 2019 All-Star Sports Week and AHSAA Summer Conference. Those teams will be announced at a later date.
The North-South Game will be played Thursday, July 18, at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. The annual game will be live-streamed by the NFHS Network and broadcast by the AHSAA Radio Network.
The South holds a 30-27-2 edge in the North-South series, which began in 1948. The North won 27-14 last July, its fourth straight victory in the series, which was first played in 1948. The North won that first game, played in Tuscaloosa, 33-0.
