Which Fayetteville-area players made the roster?

The 2023 North Carolina Coaches Association East-West All-Star Football game, an invitation-only senior showcase pitting top players from both halves of the state, is being played Sunday at Jamieson Stadium on Grimsley High School campus in Greensboro at 2 p.m. Rosters for the exhibition have been released, and a combination of six players and coaches from the Fayetteville area have been tabbed to participate in the game to represent the East.

Here are the four players and two coaches from Fayetteville-area teams, and where to purchase tickets:

Juan Hernandez, Pine Forest, K

The senior kicker had a solid year in helping his team put points on the board. Hernandez made 30 out of 36 PATs along with a 29-yard field goal.

Rico McDonald, Cape Fear, WR/CB

The wideout and leader for the Colts caught 24 passes for 308 yards this season along with three touchdowns and 104 yards in kick returns. McDonald also secured his sole interception versus Western Alamance in the first round of the NCHSAA playoffs.

Landon Sargent, Cape Fear, MLB/TE

Sargent had a dynamic senior campaign for the Colts. He collected 96 tackles, four sacks, and three fumble recoveries — two of those turning into scoop-and-score touchdowns.
