East Tops West In OT At All Star Football Game

December 17, 2016

For the first time in five years, the East beat the West in the Pensacola Sports Association Subway All-Star football game Friday night.

The East, comprised of seniors from Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties, beat Escambia County’s West team 10-7 in overtime at the Blue Wahoos Stadium.

The first score came for the West on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Z’Khari Blocker (Escambia) to AJ Yates (Catholic).

The game was tied 7-7 headed into overturn when the West’s Jake Henry (Tate) threw an interception. That allowed the East’s Colton Norris (Rocky Bayou) to kick a field goal that made it through the upright’s despite a hands on touch from Antonio Moultrie (West Florida).

Martin McGhee (Escambia) was named West Offensive MVP, while Robert Reeves (PHS) was named West Defensive MVP). Offensive MVP for the East was Jordan Tinder (Niceville) and Braijon Carr (Niceville) to East Defensive MVP.

At a Thursday night banquet, Tate’s Raymond Freeman was awarded the Senior Scholar Athlete Award for the West.
