After the last two debacles, in which a brawl cut short last years game, the annual Jaycees East-West All-Star football game could not have asked for a better finish.
A player, who some believed would never play again after collasping on the sidelines from a severe concussion last fall, scoring the game-winning touchdown in the final 54 seconds in Palma's Connor Farotte.
For as quiet as the first three quarters were, the fourth quarter resembed a Super Bowl 42 finish.
And now the annual affair appears back on stable ground.
If I was going to make two small changes, it would be to move the game to December, right after the CCS finals. Players would still be in football shape. And you could hold them accoutable should they act up.
The second is let the players use their own school jerseys. The home team is in all colors. The visiters in all white. I'd love to identify players by their school uniforms.
