Clarke Central High School will host the annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes All-Star Football Game on Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
The two teams that will be playing, known as the White Team and Blue Team, are made up by coaches of the top players from around the Athens area.
“We have got a few of our athletes to play in the FCA All-Star game so it is going to be great exposure for them, especially for all of our kids who have not gotten scholarship offers yet,” defensive coordinator Justin Jones said. “It is another opportunity to compete again some of the best talent in the state. We obviously play 12 games, but sometimes that is not enough.”
CCHS seniors Byron Spraggins, Zay Brown, Rico Arnold, Reggie Smothers, Jamar Faeth, Bryson Kearney and Anthony Dunn were all selected to participate in the event and are excited for the opportunity.
“For me football it is a big aspect of my life and I am really proud (I made this team). For CCHS, I get to represent pretty well out there,” senior defensive end Jamar Faeth said. “I have played two years at CCHS — my freshman and senior years. Football really gave me a lot of great experiences and a lot of personal relationships with people.”
Faeth looks forward the challenge and hopes that the game provides opportunities for the participants.
“I just want to have fun, really. I just wish the best for every player on our team. If they could get a scout to look at them, I would want that, and the same for me,” Faeth said.
Jones recognizes the players for their achievements and looks forward to what this means for the program.
“To me what this means for our program is that we have quality athletes and students who are trying to do things the right way,” Jones said. “What that does for us in the future is that it open up other opportunities for not necessarily just football, but other sports and academics as well.”
