MONTGOMERY – North-South all-star squads for the upcoming 60th AHSAA North-South All-Star Football Game have been selected. The two37-memeber teams comprised of 2019 graduating seniors were announced by Jamie Lee Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA) Tuesday.
The AHSADCA, which operates under the auspices of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) will also host all-star games in baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ basketball, volleyball, and boys’ and girls’ cross country during the All-Star Week. Lee, who also released the North-South Volleyball and Cross Country All-Star teams and coaches Friday, announced plans to add all-star competition for tennis and golf for the first time at the 2019 All-Star Sports Week and AHSAA Summer Conference. Those teams will be announced at date.
The North-South Game will be played Thursday, July 18 at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl.

The South holds a 30-27-2 edge in the North-South series which began in 1948. The North won 27-14 last July, its fourth straight victory in the series which was first played in 1948. The North won that first game played in Tuscaloosa 33-0. Head coach for the South is Dadeville High School Coach Richard White. The North head coach is Winfield Coach David McKinney.
