The 17th Annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl High School All Star Game presented by ARS/Conway Services and the Tennessee Highway Safety Office will feature the top high school seniors representing Shelby County Schools and private schools in the Memphis area. Some of the best gridiron talent from Shelby and Tipton counties will be on the Memphis University School Stadium field Dec. 8 in Memphis.
Each player was selected on the basis of character, his on- and off-the-field achievements and his classroom performance. The talent pool will include four semifinalists for Tennessee’s Mr. Football Award with Eric Gray (Lausanne), Maurice Hampton (MUS), Bill Norton (CBHS), and Marshall Ware (Germantown).
Gray, a Michigan commitment, is the leading rusher in Shelby County and is the new state record holder for career touchdowns. Hampton, who has committed to LSU, is the top receiver in the area and leads Shelby County in receiving yards per game and total receiving yards. Norton is the leader of the CBHS defense and has committed to Georgia. Ware is one of the most accurate and productive kickers in the area, averaging six points per game.
The Red Team will be coached by Johnny Allen from Harding Academy while the Blue Team will be coached by Carl Coleman from Manassas.
“With these two outstanding head coaches leading the teams and the abundance of talent that will be featured in the game,” said Steve Ehrhart, Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, “we will continue the tradition of excellence the All-Star Game has established over the last 16 years.”
The game will be played Saturday, Dec. 8, at 2:30 pm at MUS. Tickets are $10for adults and $5 for children ages 6 and younger. The game will be broadcast on TV on WLMT CW 30 and on radio on Sports 56/87.7 FM.
