MONTGOMERY — Neither of the two area running backs chosen to play in the 28th annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game will do so Saturday.
Clay-Chalkville’s Terelle West is out with a torn ACL, which happened in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs. Pinson Valley’s Nick Gibson is also out due to injury.

Alabama’s All-Stars extended their winning streak to six games last December with a 21-17 win over Mississippi. The hosts have won all three games played at the Cramton Bowl since 2011 and own a 20-7 record in the series, which dates back to 1988.
