Observations from the THSCA All-Star Game

• Texas State had five recruits play in Tuesday night's 2009 Texas High School Coaches Association Football All-Star Game.
• The Bobcats' quintet was the second-most to Rice's six.
• Beeville quarterback Eric Soza looked confident and poised in the pocket, as he went 4-for-7 with 63 yards passing. He threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Chris McCallister at the end of the second quarter.
• Soza provided the North defense plenty of looks behind center, as he guided the South offense in traditional I, Pro Set, Split Backs and Spread formations. He looked most comfortable out of the Shotgun, as he could survey the field and dance around the pocket longer.
• Soza also laid out for a touchdown attempt in the first quarter, but was upended and ruled out at the 1-yard line. The South team scored on the next play.
• Kilgore running back Frank Reddic had his moments both as a blocker and rusher.
• Reddic blasted his way through the South defensive line to get extra yards for his running backs, including one "de-cleater" of a South linebacker.
• The 190-pound fullback also rushed 10 times for 32 yards, as most of his carries were out of the Wildcat formation.
• Boerne-Champion running back Josh Wray didn't get much time on offense, but starred on kickoff coverage and even played on the defensive side.
• Wray said after the game that "...Texas State's coaches told me to enjoy my last time playing defense, so that's what I did."
• Texas State had two defensive recruits in the game — Jordan Norfleet and Blake McColloch.
• Norfleet recorded a quarterback hurry and McColloch's size stood out mostly. McColloch is 6-foot-5, 240 pounds.
