West's Adams, SSS's Barbour help East win again

Bookmark and Share

The East All-Stars won their second straight N.C. Coaches Association All-Star Football Game Wednesday night in Greensboro and a duo from Johnston County helped lead the way.

West Johnston High graduate Michael Adams ran for the East's final touchdown of the night in a 27-3 win over the West All-Stars.

Smithfield-Selma High head coach Anthony Barbour was also an assistant coach for the East squad.

Last year's winning East squad was under the direction of former SSS head coach and Johnston County resident Joe McCullen.

The back-to-back wins by the East squad are the first for 'our' side of the state since 1995-96.

About the blogger

D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
