PRESS RELEASE – Get ready for the 5th Annual Triple J High School Football All-Star Game! The best players from Guam’s high school gridiron will strap it up one more time to end the 2019 season. Talents flood each roster as the selections from the All-Island list will go head-to-head after being hand-pick via draft by the All-Star coaches!
DATE: Saturday, Nov. 9th
LOCATION: JFK Field (Tamuning)
GATES OPEN AT 3PM
MATUA ALL STAR KICK OFF: 4:00pm
HIGH SCHOOL ALL STAR KICK OFF: 6:30pm
The Matua All Star Game has been the perfect place to see who’s got next, where they provided football fans glimpses of future high school talents. The current teams in 2019 are split with each of the seven teams of the GNYFF equally divided.
Each and every All-Star Game has gone down to the wire! The name of this years game is defense dominated. Head coach of the Raptors in Ryan Rios and Mustangs coach Jacob Dowdell scooped up some of the leagues best defensive stars in their first few draft picks so expect to see some hard-hitting action on both sides.
The Raptors secured quarterback Travon Jacobs with their first overall pick, taking two of the leagues best linebackers in MVP Noah Quichocho from GW and Eugene Arriola from FD. Versatility was big for the Raptors as they have plenty of players who can suite up in different positions making them unpredictable, exciting to watch and hard to game plan for!
The Mustangs took Kein Artero with their first pick, the dynamic running back and return man from FD who captured his second straight offensive MVP award. They also added a beefy line on both offense and defense which will means they’re willing to grind out the tough yardage to keep the ball moving!
