Ohio State-bound and South All-Star quarterback Verlon Reed of Marion-Franklin High School was awarded MVP trophy Friday night in the North-South All-Star Classic at Ohio Stadium, but it wasn't enough as the North squad won the game 23-20

The Columbus Dispatch reports that Reed won the award despite a subpar performance for him.  Reed ran the ball five times for 45-yards and a score was completing only one of seven passes for 10 yards.

Game MVP: Verlon Reed (Marion-Franklin)
South Offensive MVP: Jack Tomlinson (Westerville South)
South Defensive MVP: Jibreel Black (Cincinnati Wyoming)
North Offensive MVP: Chase Hammond (Youngstown Boardman)
North Defensive MVP: Jewone Snow (Canton McKinley)

72 of the top high school football players in Ohio will suit-up tomorrow night for America's longest running all-star high school football game.

The Ohio North-South Classic will kick-off in the Horseshoe at Ohio State at 7 P.M.  The game was moved from its usual June date so it no longer conflicted with the Big 33 Classic, which pits Ohio vs. Pennsylvania.

The Columbus Dispatch has a quick look at some of the key players in the game.
