*** SUPERSTARS *** |
Jeff Garcia makes a living out of picking on defensive backs. But when he played in the 1988 All Star Team for the South, he starred as a defensive back. Doug Cosbie is a success story of a football player who played in the very first High School All Star Game in 1974. Jeff Ulbrich was selected in the third round by the San Francisco 49ers. |
