Six area high school football players cracked the roster for the 2021 Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches Association All-Star Game.
The contest will be held at 6 p.m. May 19 at Northeast Mississippi Community College.
All six seniors, representing three area schools, will be part of the South team, coached by a staff led by Tupelo Christian Prep coach Shaune Holiday.
From Columbus High School, defensive back Kelbe Stewart and wide receiver/kick returner Lance McGee made the team. New Hope linebacker Hayden Harris is also on the roster. Starkville High School is sending three players — defensive back Blake Williams, defensive lineman DeAnthony Dickerson and long snapper Mark Coblentz — to the game.
The game is held annually to showcase talent in Northeast Mississippi and serves as a way for college scouts to have a chance to see area players perform.
