Avon Old Farms Football Player Chris Clark Recognized at Ceremony

Avon Old Farms High School senior Chris Clark was formally presented his honorary game jersey Thursday morning for his selection to the 2015 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game.

Clark is one of 90 players selected to compete in the event, which is slated for Jan. 2 on Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fl. He is ranked by ESPN as the third top tightend college recruit in the country.

“This game gives me the opportunity to go against the best in the country,” Clark said in a statement. “I’m really excited about showing everyone what I can do.”

The National American Family insurance Selection Tour has been recognizing the top players throughout the country.

“As protectors of dreams, American Family is pleased to salute these student athletes as they pursue their dreams with the encouragement of the coaches, family and friends who support them,” said Myles Romero, American Family Insurance brand and consumer marketing associate vice president. “These high school athletes are an inspiration to all of us with their hard work, dedication and persistence, qualities that are important not just in athletics, but life.”
