Hundreds of football players took the field this season for schools around South Carolina, but only a select few were chosen for the two elite all-star contests on the gridiron -- the North-South All Star Game in Myrtle Beach and the Shrine Bowl contest between North Carolina and the Palmetto State's Sandlappers at Spartanburg's Gibbs Stadium.
I'm particularly proud of the accomplishments of players I've seen grow through the years such as Gaffney's DeEdward Burris and Blacksburg's Chase Hames, who surpassed the 2,000 yard mark in rushing this season for the Wildcats. Both Cherokee County football players were honored with a trip to the Shrine Bowl.
Others like South Pointe's Jadeveon Clowney and Northwestern's Justin Worley were also awarded with the honor.
Of course, there are many others which were honored by having their names chosen to take part in these prestigious contests.
