Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of photographing this year's Lions Club All-Star Football Classic, where many of the best of Bucks County's 2006 football season were re-united in the tradition of North vs. South teams at Doylestown's War Memorial Field.
During pre-game ceremonies, the family of 1st Lt. Colby James Umbrell was given a special plaque honoring their son who was killed in action on May 3rd, 2007 while stationed in Iraq. Colby had played football for Central Bucks East High School, graduating in 1999 and also was a member of the 1999 North All-Star team.
Although this year's North team started strong with an early touchdown, the South team responded quickly and held an 18-6 lead heading into halftime. Early in the second half, South advanced their lead to 24-6, the score's widest spread in the game. The North team delivered a surge of scoring activity in the second half with two touch-downs and a field goal, narrowing South's lead to 24-23. But in the game's final minutes, South added another touchdown and extra point for a final score of 31-23.
Some photo highlights are included below, along with two PhotoShows:
The following PhotoShow represents a "photo roster" of this year's all-stars as they were introduced onto the field:
The next PhotoShow is a 108-image, 3-minute slide-show including pre-game ceremonies, game action highlights, candids and post-game awards!
