Noah Kronk, Dylan Bazarian, and Drake Mitchell of Dexter, Missouri were selected to play on the Lions All-Star Football Team
The 39th Annual Missouri Lions All-Star Football Game will be played at the University of Central Missouri (UCM) Campus, Warrensburg, MO on Saturday, July 18th. The game features outstanding 2015 graduated high school football players from around the state to play one last game with and against their peers before entering the world of college or other careers.
The game is divided into Blue and Gold Teams. Heading this year’s Blue squad will be Coach Mark Barousse from Poplar Bluff High, and the Gold team will be led by Coach Matt Webb from Maryville High School.
The annual event was created in order to benefit the youth of Missouri and to raise funds for the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation (MLERF), including Heartland Lions Eye Banks, and has raised over $200,000 for this statewide Lions project.
The players and coaches will spend the week getting acquainted, learning plays and two-a-day practice sessions, and opportunities to volunteer in the local area.
On Saturday, the pre-game festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with kick-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Walton Stadium/Vernon Kennedy Field on the University of Central Missouri (UCM) Campus, Warrensburg, MO.
Game tickets are $7 in advance (or $10 at the gate) and are available by contacting me or through the Missouri Lions State Office at (573) 635-1773. Children 5 & under will be free, and Student Tickets (1st grade thru college) will be $3.00 in advance ($5.00 at the gate). This year the Missouri Lions State Athletic Committee has once again voted to allow any “youth” football player wearing their jersey, free admission to the game when accompanied by a paid adult.
The Lions of Missouri invite you to come enjoy one of the best High School football games you will ever see.
