As a really old football coach I prefer living in the present than the past. But it pains me a bit to see the state all-star reduced to a few paragraphs. It was once the showcase of state talent playing their last high school game before a packed house before they went off to college. Now with players graduating early to make spring practice at many colleges, the game has little more prestige than local all-star games. I still hope these young men consider it an honor to play in the state all-star game.
