The 18th 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. Each player was selected on the basis of his character, his on and off-field achievements and his classroom performance.
Six semi-finalists for the state of Tennessee’s Mr. Football Award are among this year’s All-Star Game participants: linebacker Bryson Eason from Whitehaven High School, offensive/defensive lineman Omari Thomas from Briarcrest Christian School, running back Jabari Small from Briarcrest Christian School, linebacker/fullback Austin Hill from Evangelical Christian School, running back Terry Wilkins of Fairley High School and running back Lincoln Pare from Houston High School.
Eason led a formidable Whitehaven defense with 63 tackles during the regular season and is committed to the University of Tennessee. Thomas is the anchor of the Briarcrest offensive and defensive lines and is one of the top lineman recruits in the country. Small is committed to Ole Miss and rushed for 1,377 yards and 22 touchdowns during the regular season for Briarcrest. Hill, who is committed to Army, recorded 61 total tackles and 23 tackles for loss during the regular season for ECS. Wilkins scored 15 touchdowns while amassing 967 rushing yards for Fairley during the regular season. Pare led the area in rushing yards with 2,102 and scored 25 touchdowns in the regular season for Houston.
Gene Robinson, the head coach at Fairley High School, will coach the Red Team and Preston Harris head coach Douglass High School will lead the Blue Team. “With these two outstanding head coaches leading the teams and the abundance of talent that will be featured in the game, we will continue the tradition of excellence the All-Star Game has established over the past seventeen years,” said Steve Ehrhart, Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
The All-Star Game will be played Saturday, December 14 at Memphis University School. Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10, for kids 6 and under the cost is $5.

Can someone explain to me how White Station only has one player on this massive roster from their senior class?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. That would be a question for the committee that selects the players. Contact the AutoZone Liberty Bowl people at www.libertybowl.org
