The Official Hall of Fame All-Star Game thread (rosters inside) …

The East’s secondary is X-Rated



West Covina defensive back Xavier Tucker has a knack for intercepting the deliveries of opposing QBs.

IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS GAME AS WE BUILD TOWARD THE MID-SUMMER CLASSIC, THIS IS THE THREAD TO DO IT IN. I EXPECT TO SEE ALL OF YOU THERE.

Date: July 7
Site: Mountain View HS
Kickoff: 7 p.m.

It took a while for the organizers to get the rosters completed and mailed out, but here they are. The East has dominated the series recently, but I get the vibe that could change this year.
This is a great game for local football fans.
It’s played a little on the dirty side, which gets some people sour, but I kind of like it. There was a bench clearing brawl in the 2003 game and some ejections in the 2004 game. There is also a good rivalry going between the two territories, with the East feeling as though it’s jocks don’t stink and the West sporting an inferiority complex. The truth is probably somewhere in between and the games are always exciting.

COMMENTS ABOUT THE ROSTER AND THE RIVALRIES WANTED.

Aram’s comments:
1. The biggest question I have is where’s Dominic Salmon (Arroyo QB) on the West roster? I don’t see how he wasn’t selected to play in the game.

2. Take a look at the East’s running backs … Combest, Winbush, Jackson and Hunter – WOW!

3. Can an all-star defense realistically expect to stop Muir QB Forrest Elder? This guy is worth the price of admission by himself. He’s going to make life hell on the East defense.

4. South Hills DE Tobi Umodu was selected to play, but is out of all-star games to participate in. CIF allows only two and Umodu will conclude his career in the Shrine.

Special thanks goes to Tribune and insidesocal.com/aram intern Elizabeth Botello for inputting the rosters. Elizabeth will be blogging from time to time on this site, so be looking for her stuff. It will be good. Some of you might even convince her to attend the game.

We dragged Ms. Botello in from watching the surf on sea cliffs so that she could type the rosters (she was actually happy to do it).
