Delta County Boys Lead 'Team Black' To 14-7 Win
MARQUETTE---Escanaba Eskymo Logan Carroll scored a touchdown on the ground and Bark River-Harris Bronco Ryan Arndt caught a TD pass as Team Black defeated Team Red, 14-7, in the Upper Peninsula High School Football All-Star Game Saturday in Marquette. BR-H Coach Al Stenberg was the winning coach.
The players and coaches put the finishing touches on a full week of activities by taking the field at the Superior Dome in front of 2000 fans. The atmosphere was electric and the fans were excited to see their local U.P. players compete in one more high school football game. Players finally had a chance to compare their talents to other U.P. all-stars on the field that they previously had only heard about. For the players not pursuing football in college, the game provided a last chance to put on the pads and have some fun. For the players reporting to college football camp in the fall, they got a taste of playing in a large stadium, as well as a week of practice with the pads on getting used to harder hits and more physical contact. As for the game itself, it was definitely very competitive. The red team scored first very quickly, and had the ball on the 1 yard line again, looking to jump out to a two touchdown lead, but was turned back several times by the black team defense and was not allowed to score. The black team scored before halftime, tying it 7-7. The individual awards were as follows: |
