Four Future Eagles in VA All-Star Game

Photo courtesy Media GeneralEighty of Virginia's top high school football seniors will be participating in the 35th Annual Virginia High School Coaches Association (VHSCA) East-West All-Star Game this Friday, July 14.

Four of them have committed to Bridgewater College. Tee Anderson (pictured, #7), Seth Little, Angel Sala and Louis Sanchez will represent the Eagles, with Anderson on the West team and Little, Sala and Sanchez playing for the East.

Anderson (E.C. Glass / 5-9 / 150) totaled 226 tackles his junior and senior seasons, and will look to play defensive back. Little (Turner Ashby / 5-10 / 170) finished his senior year with 2,098 total yards and 22 touchdowns as quarterback for the Group AA State Champion Knights. He will also be looking at defensive back for Bridgewater. Sala (L.C. Bird / 6-0 / 230) was named to the All-State Group AAA first team. And finally, Sanchez (Harrisonburg / 6-0 / 240) helped anchor the offensive line for the Valley District Champion Blue Streaks. Both Little and Sanchez were named to the All-State Group AA first team.
