Ask any college coach who does the early winter senior all-star football circuit across the state of Florida, all collectively point to this game, which has produced stars and scholarships throughout the years, is the best - by far.

This North vs. South contest annually attracts the best players and  coaches from the BCAA - with nearly two weeks of practice and exposure to college coaches who come down to find that “diamond” that has been hidden for one reason or another.

The 15th annual BCAA All-Star Football Classic will take place on Thursday, Dec. 8th at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale at 7.

In addition to the great game and the benefits that nearly two extra weeks of practice give a student/athlete, there are yearly speakers and guests of this event. This year, Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema, will be the featured speaker.

Bielema and other dignitaries will be on hand for the annul banquet, honoring the all-star athletes and cheerleaders as well as the introduction of the coaching staffs on Wednesday, Dec. 7th.at the Signature Grand in Davie.

Once again, BEACON TV will broadcast this game to further help expose the athletes who are still competing for scholarships.
