Alabama All-Star Game
1957
The North All-Stars came back from a 7-6 halftime deficit to gain a 12-7 triumph and even the series at four victories each, with two ties. The winning touchdown came after Hamilton guard Hayward Nixon recovered a South fumble on the Rebel ten yard line in the third quarter. It took the North four plays to score.
With Coffee High Quarterback Tootie Hill directing both drives, Halfback Jack Cochrane of Cherokee scored the two North TO's on sprints of five and two yards. Valley's Mickey Entrekin dived four yards and Clift's Robert Guinn converted to hand the Rebs their intermission advantage. Hill, top ground gainer for the night, was named Most Outstanding Back, while Anniston End Henry O'Steen was elected top lineman.
The winning coaching staff was made up of Head Coach Hayden Riley, Coffee High School and aids Marvin Rice, Corner; Ernest V. Newman, Jacksonville; John Meadows, Hanceville; and Bill Nichols, Butler of Huntsville. Morris Higginbotham, West Blocton, headed the South staff, helped by Hub Hawkins, Enterprise; Doug Lockridge, Valley, Gri Cashio, Shades Valley; and Don Anderson, Frisco City.
