"Coaching these seniors is a lot of fun," Kirkland said Wednesday. "We're having a lot of fun at practice and I'm looking forward to having one last shot at working together."

Kirkland will be joined at head coaching duties by Hagerman football coach Lonnie Funkhouser, who will be in charge of defense. Assisting Kirkland and Funkhouser will be Camas coach Randy Jewett and Shoshone coach Mark Sant.

The North squad will take on the South team comprised of seniors from Lighthouse Christian, Castleford, Raft River, Murtaugh and Hansen high schools.

Baird will represent the North team at the running back and linebacker slots. Hunt will play offensive end and safety, while Peck and Carlson will serve as offensive ends and linebackers. Ocampo will hold the line at guard on both offense and defense.
