Daytona Beach Mainland’s D’andre McMillian ran for 115 yards and two touchdowns to help the East defeat the West 29-10 on Friday night in the 20th Central Florida All-Star Game.
McMillian scored on runs of 3 and 39 yards and was named Most Valuable Player for the game at Lake Howell High School.
“It feels great. It’s a great accomplishment,” McMillian said. “My offensive line made the hole and I just did what I had to do.”
The West team received the opening kickoff and scored first, with Winter Park’s Alec Boe converting a 30-yard field goal.
The East struck back on the next possession, though, the beginning of what became a 20-point swing in its favor. By the time West Orange’s Elijah Stimmell got the West back on the board in the fourth quarter with a keeper for a touchdown, it was too little, too late.
Stimmell was named the Offensive MVP for the West team. He passed for 125 yards and rushing for 57 yards and the score.
Extra points
Apopka defensive lineman Curtis Williams walked away from Friday’s game with two trophies: one as the West’s recipient for the Jeff Wenstrom Memorial Award for Sportsmanship and the other as the West’s Defensive MVP.
“A lot of my coaches from the All-Star team and my coaches from Apopka taught me well,” Williams said. “My dad’s been teaching me sportsmanship since I was a kid.”
Trinity Prep quarterback Spencer Fetter got the lion’s share of the snaps under center for the East, in place of Oviedo quarterback Morgan Mitchell, who is playing basketball for the Lions and did not attend. Fetter made the most of it, completing 13-of-19 passes for 119 yards. He was named the East’s Offensive MVP.
Freedom running back Jordan Grant rushed for 63 yards on eight carries for the West.
Seminole defensive back Hilton Mobley was named the East’s Defensive MVP. Mobley had an interception in the third quarter that led to a touchdown for the East. Originally, it had been a pick-six interception, but Mobley’s return was called back on a holding penalty.
Rockledge defensive back Adreal Johnson had two interceptions for the East.
