The best high school football players in Europe share a field Saturday at 1 p.m. as the 2012 DODDS-Europe Football All-Star Game kicks off at Vilseck High School.
The North side features members of all three of the European champions crowned at last weekend’s Super Six. Division I champion Ramstein is well-represented with eight players on the squad, while Division II Bitburg offers four and Division III Baumholder sends two to the annual showcase.
The underdog South roster is headlined by six players from host Vilseck, followed by five from Ansbach and four from Naples.
Steve Jewell led the North to a 23-14 win over Marcus George’s South team in the 2011 edition of the game, played at nearby Grafenwöhr. That game renewed the DODDS tradition of postseason football all-star games after a hiatus dating back to 1982.
