2012 South All-Stars gearing up for the Orange County All-Star Football Game

Rick Gibson, of the Woodbridge Warriors, is preparing the All-Stars of the South for the upcoming Orange County All-Star Football game.  Coach Gibson takes on the role as Head Coach of the South and will be joined by several coaches of the Warriors coaching staff. 

Two Warriors were selected to the South team.  Outgoing Seniors, Derek Calderon (running back) and Kyle Kelley (defensive end) will join the roster.  Both athletes wreaked havoc for defenses and offenses.  In 2011, Calderon was one of the county's leading rushers and Kelley was a constant headache for opposing quarterbacks.  Details can be found in the link provided. 

Kelley will be unable to particpate in the game as his obligations to the University of Arizona football program required him to report by June 23rd.
