Due to their nature, high school all-star football games can often be lackluster affairs.

Asking guys who have gone more than six months without strapping on pads to come together and learn a game plan they can execute with just four days of practice is a significant challenge. It’s easy to forgive players if they look a little out of sync or rusty.

Saturday night’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes Myrle Greathouse All-Star Classic at Hugh Sandifer Stadium was anything but your normal affair, however, as the Blue Team beat the Red Team 24-14 in an event that’s been going on for more than two decades.

For Snyder’s Wes Wood and Comanche’s Jake Escobar, who led the Blue and Red teams, respectively, though, it was less about wins and losses than the greater good of the week.
