Tonight, Elkhart star running back Jeffrey Wilson will be running under the bright lights.
Wilson was selected by the Texas High School Coaches Association to compete in the All-Star football game at 7 p.m. tonight at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The game will be presented on Fox Sports Southwest.
Wilson, in his time at Elkhart, had several excellent seasons at running back, which earned him the chance to go to college. He accepted a scholarship to attend the University of North Texas and become a part of the Mean Green family.
His coach at Elkhart, Sam Wells, said he is proud of his former running backs accomplishments and being named to the All-Star game.
The game is a really prestigious All-Star game, Wells said. It encompasses all of the schools in the state, and they undergo a big selection process. Typically, its a lot of the bigger school guys that get selected and all of the State Champions. For Jeffrey to be selected is great for him.
The coaches watched film on him and selected him, he added. Its a big honor for him to be selected. It means a lot for our school, especially with him being the third player from Elkhart to be selected for the game.
