Football: Three Utahns in Today's Prep All-Star Game
Just got a text message from Ryan Holt, father of Bingham tight end Austin Holt. They are at a dinner in San Antonio on the eve of the annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
The high school all-star game, to be televised by NBC at 11 a.m. on Saturday, will feature a record three Utahns: Austin Holt, Bingham kicker Justin Sorensen and Cottonwood linebacker Lynn Katoa.
It appears that all three will start for the West team (if you can consider a kicker a "starter") when it plays the East team today at the Alamodome.
"Austin told me he will start for the West tomorrow," Ryan Holt said in the text message.
According to several internet sources, Katoa will also start. Sorensen presumably will handle a good portion of the kicking chores, although the West roster also includes Justin Tucker, a kicker from Austin who has committed to Texas.
The game is rarely that exciting, but this one should be fun to watch for locals here with the Utahns playing.
ABC is televising a different prep football all-star game, the Under Armour game in Orlando, Fla., but that one includes no Utahns.
Also, Katoa is expected to participate in one of those cap-choosing ceremonies where a recruit dons the baseball cap of the school he has chosen and everyone around him acts surprised.
The game's official Web site says he has committed to Colorado, however, so don't expect any surprises.
