The Missouri 8-Man Football Coaches’ Association will be hosting its 13th annual Missouri 8-Man Football Senior All-Star Game on Saturday, June 26, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. at Bearcat Stadium on Northwest Missouri State University’s campus in Maryville, Missouri. Thirty-eight of Missouri’s top 8-man senior football players have been invited to participate in this event. They will report Thursday, June 24, 2021, to Northwest and practice for three days as a member of either the green or silver team in preparation for the event.
The teams will be coached by 8-man football coaches from the eight teams that made the state quarterfinals in 2021. The green team is led by Dwayne Williams of North Andrew R-VI (Rosendale, Missouri). His assistants are Josh Petersen of South Holt R-1 (Oregon, Missouri)/Nodaway-Holt R-VII (SHNH) (Graham, Missouri), Drew Smith of Archie R-V (Archie, Missouri), and Doug Fountain of Albany R-III (Albany, Missouri). Coach Oren Magruder of Southwest Livingston R-1 (Ludlow, Missouri) will lead the silver team. He is assisted by Shane Hilton of Stanberry R-II (Stanberry, Missouri), Aaron Behrens of East Atchison (Fairfax, Missouri/Tarkio, Missouri), Seth Bass of North Shelby High School (Shelbyville, Missouri), and Philip Dean of Drexel R-IV (Drexel, Missouri). The players were drafted by the coaches; thereby pitting previous teammates against one another in certain instances.
There will be a Hall of Fame induction ceremony at halftime, where Jim Schultz will be inducted into the 8-Man Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame. Coach Schultz was a head coach at North Andrew for eight seasons and won two state championships. The player inductee will be Macon Allen of King City, Missouri. Allen was a standout at King City and in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics’ Association (MIAA) at Missouri Western State University (St. Joseph, Missouri). There will also be all-state and academic all-state recognition prior to the game for all 2020 players that received those awards.
There is an admission fee to attend. T-shirts will be for sale throughout the contest. All proceeds go to the Missouri 8-Man Football Coaches’ Association. For more information, check the association’s home page at http://www.mo8mancoaches.com/.
