Barry Sanders, Running back and I’m on the west.
News Sports Commentator: Annual event that brings all the top high school football talent under one roof it’s the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Its happening this weekend at the Alamo Dome and a couple of gentlemen who will be there are here this morning.
Barry Sanders: Going into today this is our last practice day and so I’m feel today the emotions will be high we’ll do a walk thru tomorrow and then ready to gear up Saturday.
I was very anxious to see how my skills compared to the other guys and after my first couple of runs I felt pretty comfortable.
Tony Severino: I think we’re ready, we’re way ahead of the game and these young men have really been focused. This is my third time as coach at this game, my fifth time down here and I cannot say enough about the Army.
And the people that are in it and the people you meet and the kind of young men and women that are representing this country. Literally I get goose bumps when I start talking about it and once you get that then you understand what this, a lot more of what this game is about.
SFC Steve Kimsey: It kind of share a lot in common, the commitment these guys are leaders, teamwork. If I could mentor him a little bit and he’s definitely mentoring, he’s mentoring me as well.
