Held each year at Waco ISD Stadium, the game will be played June 6 and is a part of a series of all-star contests, including baseball, softball and volleyball, over the weekend.
For some, this is merely a stepping stone as they prepare to play collegiately, and for others, this will be the final time they wear a uniform, making it a unique experience for all involved.
Additionally, longtime rivals can become teammates and previously impossible scenarios can exist as the rosters disregard districts and classifications, allowing Class 6A players to suit up alongside Class 3A players.
Plus, it’s football in June, and who doesn’t love that?!!
