Thursday, June 24, 2004 By Art Redd It was an opportunity for some of the graduating high school seniors to showcase their talents on the field for the last time as high school football players. Some will move onto a higher learning institution in hopes of extending their football talents at the college level, and some will fully concentrate on their education giving football a rest. For Woodbury's Marvin McKinnie who will be attending Mesabi Range Junior College, his performance alone provided excitement for all to enjoy with his dazzling display of now you see me, now you don't. This time at Eastern High School, the 14th Annual South Jersey Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame game saw team White defeat team Blue 42-12 in the Adam Taliaferro Foundation All-Star Football Classic played at Frank J. McAleer Stadium. McKinnie accepted the honor proudly when he was named the Most Valuable Player for team White. |
