North confident and ready to break South streak



The O.C. All-Star Football Game kicks off Friday night at OCC in Costa Mesa, but the fireworks are already starting.

"We'll see what they got, and they'll see what we got," said Nick Richardson . "And we will come up with a W."

Richardson is no stranger to guarantees. Don't be fooled by his smile, as he often backs up what he says, and he looked dynamic at practice today.

"I get a lot of people who say the South is going to win," said Josh Webb. "So I want to prove them wrong."

Webb, the reigning athlete of the year, is sure to drop some jaws Friday night with his death-defying spins and somersaults showcased in this epic video:

Head coach Mike Cobleigh believes that the South may have the bigger and more talented athletes, but the North has a chance.

"The South has definitely got the better of the North in recent years," said Cobleigh. "They have more schools, bigger schools, so the talent pool is a little bit different. I think our kids are generally more tough, but they'll get more athletes, and more size."

The O.C. All-Star Football Game will air on tape-delay Friday night at 11:30 p.m. on Cox channel 3.
