Andy Stuursma Competes in the McLegends All-Star Game

Last Saturday, April 18th, Andy had the opportunity to compete in the Coca-Cola McLegends All-Star Game at Homewood-Flossmoor High School. The game features a roster of past high school legends from the south side versus a current roster of this years all-area players selected by the Southtown Star Newspaper. A few of the players on the Legends roster included current NFL wide recievers Antwan Randle El and Tai Streets, as well as NFL linebacker Napoleon Harris among many other talented players.

The game was very close throughout, ending in overtime on a last second bucket by Napoleon Harris. The final score of 126-125 showed that there was plenty of offense and plenty of entertainment for all the fans.

Andy said it was a great game, and that he had a lot of fun. He scored two buckets, handed out five a assists and had five rebounds. He mentioned that Antwan Randle El netted seven three pointers, but he was most impressed with Kenya Beach (Crete-Monee1996) who had 28 points.
