CYO ALL STAR GAME HISTORY (1977-2010) Overview: 8th grade players from the CYO began participating in an all-star football
game in 1977. The game was played as a prelim to the Hero Bowl in Delaware County. In 1984 the game format
was changed to a City Division vs the DelMont League. With the demise of the Philadephia CYO league and the expansion
of the DelMont league the game was shifted back to the Knights of Columbus. Due to CYO rules a 7th grader may not play
in the game or they would not be eligible for their 8th grade season. 1995-2007:
The first year the game returned to Delaware County the teams were separated by a power ranking (1 to 20). The goal
was to spread the talent out evenly. The following year, the team was split into an East - West Fortmat. In 2005
the format was changed to accommodate the leagues growth in Chester County. Some of the notable players to play in this historic game are: Kevin Jones (Charity, O'Hara, Detroit Lions) Anthony Heygood (Charity,O'Hara, Purdue) Marc
