Congratulations to Whitefield varsity football players Jaylen Hudson, Braelen Phillips, Alex Manning, Everett Pollard and Lawrence Waters who have been selected to play in the Cobb All-Star Senior Bowl on Saturday, December 21, at the McEachern High School stadium. The event honors highly successful athletes from 21 public and private high schools across Cobb County. Lawrence will be unable to play due to an injury; nevertheless the selection committee recognized his contribution to high school athletics.
“Having these players receive this honor is an outstanding recognition from other coaches in Cobb County. These guys are very deserving and I am extremely proud of them,” said Jimmy Fields, varsity football coach.

Over 4000 people attend the event which is a collaboration effort between the American Youth Council, the Cobb County Touchdown Club, and Xecute Consulting.

"I am also grateful to the Cobb Country Touchdown Club for working hard to give seniors from all over Cobb County, the opportunity to put on the pads one more time before leaving high school," continued Dupree, "I encourage all WolfPack fans to attend and support Jaylen, Alex, Everett, Lawrence, and Braelen ."
