My Fit Life Personal Trainer Side AdAfter a two year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the East-West All-Star Football Game returned Saturday Night to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

Seaman’s Hauls in 67 Yard Touchdown Pass

Lingenhoel Group - Arden and Lisa Lingenhoel - Cutler Real Estate AdTrailing 18-0, GlenOak quarterback Isaiah Knox dropped back deep into the pocket on the East’s own 24 yard line and launched deep down field. On the other end of the connection was Louisville wide receiver Zack Seaman who sprinted past one defensive back and hauled in a catch amidst another defensive back inside the West 30 yard line. Seaman stumbled while extending for the reception, but quickly recovered and shifted into high gear all the way to the endzone.

According to Canton Repository Reporter Cliff Hickman, the 67 yard touchdown reception was the fifth longest in the history of the East-West game. The score cut the East deficit to 18-6 with 4:41 left to play in the third quarter and it would prove to be the only points scored by the East during the contest.

McElroy also hooked up with Canton South wide receiver Tam Church for a 17 yard touchdown pass to extend the West lead to 18-0 in the third quarter. McElroy later capped off his night with another fourth down touchdown run from a yard out. On the conversion attempt, McElroy connected with Green wide receiver Trey Martin to put the West ahead 26-6 with 8:14 left in the contest.

This was the 31st East-West All-Star Game and the West now holds a 16-15 edge in the series.
