As for the All-Star game, there was approximately 60 kids from different bantam teams through out the south that were on hand to form 2 teams. They had 2 two hour practices before heading to the grid iron for the game Saturday afternoon. Although the game was called due to lightning the teams still managed to play 48 minutes of football. This year the white team came out on top over the teal team with a score of 49-7.
