Monday night in Terre Haute, Indiana, America got its second taste of high school football since the coronavirus pandemic began. Monday night, graduated seniors from Illinois and Indiana took part in the 16th annual Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star High School Football Game.
The Gold Division Stars beat the Black Division All-Stars 14-0 in a game that was postponed from Saturday night due to thunderstorms. The game is normally played at Indiana State’s Memorial Stadium, but was moved to Boys and Girls Club Park in Terre Haute.
