Game Thoughts:

Once you have seen or been to one All-Star Game, you have seen or been to them all. Wasnt much of a game, pretty boring actually. No hitting, very little contact. The Interior Conference's defence was no where in sight, as the Coastal Conference had a ton of odd man rushes-breakaways. Most of the play for most of tonights game was played in the Interior zone. The only bright spot in tonights game was the Skills Competition. This was the only entertainment for tonight. The most noise made by the small crowd all night. Some of these kids put on a show during the breakaway drill, Evan Pighin, Derek Grant, Zach Davies, & Cory Pritz put some unreal stick handling-moves while going in for the breakaway. Very entertaining & exciting.
