And here are the players of the game:

Offensive player of the game was WR Scotty Williams of Orange Lutheran, who had 11 receptions for an all-star game record 150 yards, with a touchdown.

Defensive player of the game was Tesoro lineman Tanner Hodgdon, who had two sacks and consistenly pressured North quarterbacks all night.

A one-sided game, sure, but a fun on with a lot of offense.

Last year, the North won, 12-10.

A couple good catches by Gavin Escobar of Santa Margarita, solid running by Jaron Hytche of Mater Dei, a strong offensive line and a very quick defense have led the South so far.

South QB Andrew McDonald is 4 for 6 for 62 yards.

The quarter ended with the North at the South 31 -- the best North drive of the game.

Only one scratch from the rosters -- Michael Allain of Fullerton, running back-defensive back, according to North coach John Barnes of Los Alamitos. South coach Brian Barnes said every player on the South roster is here and ready to go.

Kickoff at 7:15 p.m. ... that's the plan. We shall see ...

Fryer picks the North to win

I was outvoted at the football all-star recognition dinner, in May, when it was decided that The Media made the South a two-point favorite, or some similar spread.

I like the North because I like that North defense.

Nothing against the South, which has a lineup of excellent players, too.

North 16, South 14.

I picked the North to win by two last year, too, and the North did win, 12-10. Nobody congratulated me. But if I get this one wrong, people will be all over me.

Does it seem like I'm whining?
