Four Bucks County high school football standouts have earned spots on the East roster for the PSFCA All-Star match, set for May 18 at Chapman Field in Cumberland Valley High School, Silver Spring Township.
Neshaminy’s Connor Frederick, Central Bucks South’s Nick Micewski, and CB East’s Brody Wojnicki will compete in the big-school game, while Morrisville’s Raymond Holman is slated for the small-school contest.
The East-West PSFCA All-Star Game, started in 2001 and modeled after the Big 33, gives more players a chance to compete and showcase their talent beyond the usual roster limits.
Last season, the East edged the big-school game 15-14, and the West won the small-school matchup 27-24.
Bucks County’s best athletes have also made their mark in recent playoff action across several sports.
