The last game was delayed which happens alllllll the time in all stars, especially when you have two games before....the Oaks coach threatens to pull his team  what a jerk! You only have two teams of boys looking forward to playing the game

Again what a jerk!!!!

Heard the Oaks coach was a real tool at practice as well!

It's ok they got throttled by the much better coached east team 28-6

VALENCIA -- What a Strange day.

Stuck in the anonymity of the high desert throughout his high school football career at Palmdale, Vincent Strange  found his moment in the spotlight today in the 17^th annual Daily News East-West All-Star Game with five receptions for 163 yards and three touchdowns to carry the East to a 28-6 victory at College of the Canyons.

Strange scored on catches of 22, 33 and 63 yards to earn game MVP honors, as the East extended a six-game winning streak while forcing three turnovers and limiting the West to 196 yards.

“This was my big chance. It’s a big honor to play in this game,” Strange said. “It was just a great opportunity. I’ve never scored three touchdowns in a game before. Two was the most.”

East quarterback Kelly Hilinski of Notre Dame had a feeling Strange might break out.

“All week during practices, he’s been the best guy on the field,” Hilinski said. “The whole thing was just a great experience for all of us, and it was a lot of fun. It was just a great atmosphere, and we put in some hard work practicing, and everyone did a great job.”

Notre Dame’s Anthony Gutierrez chipped in six tackles and two sacks to earn team MVP honors, and West MVP Francis Owusu of Oaks Christian had six receptions for 90 yards including a 41- touchdown.

Proceeds benefited the Valley Youth Conference, which oversees local Pop Warner football, so the final score was not the most important thing, though both teams played hard, and there were a lot of big hits, exciting plays and mid-air collisions.

“This was the last one, and it was definitely a great game,” Owusu said. “It was just a really great experience, and I got a chance to bond with all the players from different schools.”

All of the East quarterbacks were effective. Hilinski completed 4 of 6 for 96 yards, Valencia’s Sean Murphy was 5 of 8 for 77 yards, and Alemany’s Devon Dunn was 3 of 6 for 44 yards. Hilinski added 26 yards rushing on five carries.

“I had a great time. There was a lot of good competition out here,” Dunn said.

Clark Abourisk of Thousand Oaks completed 8 of 14 passes for 117 yards for the West, but he was intercepted twice in the first half as the East opened a 14-0 lead. He faced a heavy pass rush, and the West had trouble moving the ball on the ground, as El Camino Real’s Tyson Jones was the only effective runner with 55 yards on 10 carries as a backup to Birmingham’s Isaiah Hastings, limited to 14 yards on 11 carries.

Chaminade’s Cory Harris and Oaks Christian’s Marcus Jones both had two sacks for the West, which trails 8-9 in the series.

“It was a fun experience, and I got to meet a lot of people,” Harris said. “I wanted to win. I love my teammates.”

The West struggled against the East’s relentless defense, particularly upfront.

“It took a while to get clicking,” said West center Eli Sibrian of Chaminade. “We couldn’t do much.”

Canyon’s Daniel Castro chipped in a 16-yard touchdown run for the East, and Nate O’Toole contributed four successful point-after kicks.

Wrong this is the East's SIXTH win in a row if I'm not mistaken.....lol!

Ya I think he was mistaken, I also believe its the easts 6 in a row.

Very happy to see Strange play so well and especially to be able to let everyone see how talented he is. The early playoff exit cost him a lot of exposure. He was All-CIF so it wasn't that the Coaches from the teams he played didn't notice, but it's still nice for a Palmdale guy to show so well versus the other elite talent. I'm pretty sure he's not moving on to college, but as for on field talent, he is a physical freak with great hands.

Strange is an awesome talent. He really shined in the Valencia style offense. Palmdale is such a run threat that he probably wasn't used enough. And as far as college goes I saw him talking to a recruit after the game.

Really hope Strange is academically sound. Because if he is, he just wrote his own ticket tonight! That kid is a baller!!!

By far, the best player on the East team. Fun to watch!!!

I noticed the West head coach (don't know his name) didn't bother to come out and shake hands with the East staff. 

Why so Busch League? He wasn't bitter was he? After all, it was just an all-star game?

Whether he meant it or not, that gives the impression of being pompous. Newsbreak Coach... You're sh!t stinks just like everyone else!

I hope Strange gets a chance, but I meant that I'm not sure he is an academic qualifier. I hope I'm wrong, but that's the vibe I got throughout the season. Talent wise he's as good as they come. His stats were definitely stunted by the talented running back Demario Richard, but it's hard to argue with the logic of Palmdale...why pass if nobody can stop the run? Strange did the most with his opportunities as he averaged a TD every 3 receptions. Another reason his stats suffered was he was usually on the bench by the middle of the 3rd quarter for the majority of their games because Palmdale was well ahead. Again, I hope I'm wrong about his academics and that he gets a ton of offers...

I talked to Strange afterward, and he said he does have a couple of schools interested .... Also fixed the sixth in row, thanks all ... It was a nice event, a fairly nice crowd considering the NFL playoff game on TV at the same time, and I think there were some really athletic kids on the defenses today .... Manfro was there, too, he had some surgery and was in a sling.

Gerry,

Is there a way to purchase a DVD of this game? Or will it air on the Laker Time Warner channel eventually?

Great game and I wish the best to Strange...hopefully he gets a look!

In defense of the west, they were there on time warming upright after the previous game. For some reason the East took about a half an hour to take the field, leaving the west just standing there for what seemed like a very long time, it was ridiculous.
The east had two quality QBs that were easily the difference in the affair. Either way it was fun to watch.

Yesterday Strange was the best player on the field.

The east had 3 quality QBs that all made plays and completed passes.

If Wolitarsky' would have played the east woulda hung 50 on the west between him, Strange and the 3 QBs.

Im sure Muir and staff would of loved to play with that toy for and afternoon.

That is GREAT to hear! Always happy to see Palmdale represented in College and the NFL.
