  Last night I made the drive to Zanesville High School to take in the All-Star game pitting Licking County verus Muskingum Valley. Muskingum Valley had won the last four games in this All-Star series. The crowd was pretty good and vocal. The game would be a defensive slugfest all night long, with more flags thrown than points scored, or very close to it. There would be several calls that made most fans very irate. There was a player injection and a punter was the MVP for the Licking County team. That punter, Charlie Kincaid (Northridge) basically kept the Licking County All-Stars in the game, especially during the first half, where the offense produced just 34 yards on 18 plays, unofficially.

JJ Holloway (Heath) blitzed into the Muskingum Valley backfield drilling Owen Edwards (John Glenn) for a loss of five at the 8:51 mark o...
