Who will play for Cincinnati vs. Dayton in Friday's new all-star football game format?

Proceeds from the game will benefit the SWOFCA & MVFCA Scholarship Fund. MVFCA & SWOFCA continue to provide opportunities for male and female athletes

BSN & White Allen Chevrolet are sponsors of the event.

Tyler Williams of Taft will be the head coach for the Cincinnati team. His assistants are Scott Cook (Little Miami), JeSean Godfrey (Colerain), Mark Hafner (Summit Country Day), Juan Lewis (Milford), Eric Price (Gamble), Brandon Schon (Northwest), Chris Stewart (Madeira), Joey Woods (Taylor) and Keilan Woods (Winton Woods).

As of Wednesday, 59 players from 35 different Cincinnati-area schools will be on the team, though changes are expected heading into the game on Friday.
