Quick Slants:
-The running backs group features 3-1,000+ yard rushers (Hargrove, Harris and Williams)—the five backs combined for 5,268 yards rushing and 44 touchdowns this season.
-The two quarterbacks combined for 2,451 yards this season with 18 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
-Terrance Williams, Cordell Pimienta, Deshawn Barnes, Devontres Dukes and Ryan Sass combined for 2,431 yards and 17 touchdowns this season receiving.
-The seven linebackers combined for 566 tackles this season led by Cory Cotnoir’s 150 and Derek Cromartie’s 121.

What to expect on offense:
-Coach Keith Chattin is going to air-it-out and air-it-out often–after all, it’s an all star game, right? The East has all the tools at the wideout position to turn this one into a high-flying affair.

What to expect on defense:
-The East features two of the top tacklers in all of Hillsborough County, so expect to see the linebackers (where those two will reside) flying around. Expect to see the DB’s playing and bringing the hit sticks like this one is a battle for the right to be in the postseason.
