Tennessee-Kentucky All-star game ends

The Tennessee Athletic Coaches Association made a wise choice to end the Tennessee-Kentucky All-Star high school football game.

The 24-year-old game played annually on a rotating basis in each state has been on the decline in the past few years.

TACA has replaced the Tennessee-Kentucky game with an East-West All-star game that will be played on December 15 of this year at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

Selected seniors who have completed their eligibility will practice Dec. 12-14.

This clears the way for the annual Stump On Sports Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Classic in June at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga to be the only summer game.

The Tennessee-Georgia Classic had been played a week before the Tennessee-Kentucky game each year with some of the Tennessee players participating in both.
