Despite a roster filled with athletes and game-breakers, the Western Kentucky Conference All Stars couldn't get much going on offense and fell to the Southern Illinois All Stars 21-7 Friday night at Roy Stewart Stadium at Murray State University.

The WKC All-Stars, coached by Lone Oak's Jack Haskins, thought they had the game tied in the third quarter, but a 79-yard screen pass for a score by Williams was called back on a penalty at midfield.

So. Illinois also had a touchdown called back in the fourth quarter.  So. Illinois also missed two field goals.

Fort Campbell's C.J. Croft was 6-of-13 for 48 yards, while Hopkinsville's Kyle Graham was 3-of-3 for 13 yards.

Great photos. I had a cameraman for photos and I made video of the game. It has every play and would be great for people from Western Kentucky to take a look at.

Just go to www.618football.com and find the link on the front page. You can click get link or get code and put the video on your own site. I am also making a DVD if anyone needs one.

Thanks, Don Laur, 618 Football.
