All-Region 1AAAA performers Jonathan Warren, Kenny Jacobs and three other Bainbridge High School Bearcats seniors will help lead the Southwest Georgia All-Stars into battle against the Florida Big Bend All-Stars this Saturday in the second annual Georgia Florida Border Wars High School All-Star Football game.

Tight end Markeith Chrispen, running back Thomas Smiley and wide receiver Sylvester Byrd will also be in the line up for the game, which will be at 2 p.m. at Thomas County Central High School’s Jackets’ Nest Stadium.

Warren, a first-team, All-Region 1AAAA safety, is tied for first in the region in interceptions with four, one of which he returned for a touchdown. He was also second in the region in tackles with 125 and he had four blocked kicks, three tackles for loss, two caused fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Jacobs, a second-team, All-Region 1AAAA defensive tackle, had 41 tackles, five tackles for loss, one caused fumble and two quarterback hurries.

Chrispen had 12 receptions on the season.

In last year’s inaugural Border Wars game at Jackets’ Nest Stadium, three former Bearcats were instrumental in the Southwest Georgia All-Stars 35-3 victory over the Florida Big Bend All-Stars.

Ben Reynolds, a walk-on with the University of Georgia Bulldogs where he earned offensive scout team player of the year in the recently completed season, started and played most of the game at right guard.

Linebacker Brian Hughes and safety Eric Henry played well on defense.

Players representing 30 Georgia high schools and 30 Florida high schools will be taking part in this year’s game. They will be playing in front of college scouts and recruiters.

An All-Star banquet honoring both teams will take place Friday at 7 p.m. at the Thomas County Central High School cafeteria.

Prior to kickoff Saturday, there will be an all-star military salute during the National Anthem to honor all active military personnel. Active military service personnel will be admitted to the game free with their showing of proper identification. Tickets at the gate will be $10.

The game is sponsored by Varsity Sports Management and “In The Zone” High School Sports Magazine.
