      MIAMI, FL – It’s simply an event like no other held in the country. The 21st Annual Miami Dade High School All-Star Football Game (North vs South).  Various events kick off a weekend of celebration and competition by Miami Dade’s 100 best high school football players.

The most prestigious area in the country, the hotbed for high school football talent, will once again shine in the spotlight as the 21st edition of the Tournament of Champions Miami-Dade High School All-Star Football Game on Saturday, Dec. 19 at Curtis Park (1901 N.W. 24 Ave.) in Miami.

The game, which had long featured the best of Miami-Dade and Broward – and most recently – other athletes from southeast and southwest Florida – has returned to its roots this year with a showdown between the best of 305 – where the lines are drawn and the county is split into North and South.

“This is high school football at its very finest,” said game founder and organizer Wesley Frater. “Look on any NFL roster or watch a collegiate game on Saturdays and you will find that Miami-Dade County, the 305 area code is well represented.”
