2026 ALL STAR FOOTBALL GAME RECAP
Team Blue earned a 26–18 victory over Team White in the 48th annual San Antonio Sports All-Star Football Game at the Alamodome, celebrating the region’s top high school talent and the coaches who helped shape their journeys. Led by Team Blue head coach TP Miller and Team White head coach Alex Franco, both squads showcased the skill, sportsmanship, and pride that define South Texas football.
Special shoutout to the Valero Impact Player of the Game, G’Ivori Graham (#7), who made a statement with an electric 54-yard touchdown run that had the crowd on its feet. Major Luna added a rushing score, while Timothy Cummings returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown. Team White mounted a late push with scoring connections from Corey Dailey to Micah Sheeler and a 90-yard touchdown from Xavier Gonzales to Noah Chambers, but Team Blue held on for the win.
