all star football

If you ever wondered why colleges often tell their recruits NO when it comes to playing in a high school all-star football game, seeing Nick Martinez of North Salinas break his leg in a practice explains everything.
Martinez was slated to play this fall at MPC. But a freak accident during a scrimmage Tuesday broke his leg in three places. He certainly won't play Friday in the Salinas Jaycees East-West all-star game and may need a full year to recover.
This was just a practice. Football is a violent sport. There's no other way to play it. An all-star football game is a big risk for a kid on scholarship.
