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)
