By the Herald staff

EVERETT -- Quarterback Blake Bledsoe, a recent Central Valley graduate, rushed 13 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:40 to play to lift the East to a 13-12 victory Saturday over the West at the East-West All-Star Football Game for 4A and 3A players.

Bledsoe was named the East team's MVP. He also threw a touchdown pass to Southridge's Clayton Homme, a Idaho signee who caught a game-high six passes for 61 yards.

Hanford linebacker Kody Winsor, headed to Southern Virginia University, had four tackles (three solo) for the East.
