Rosters have been set and coaches named for one of our summertime highlights, the annual Sertoma 8-Man Football Classic.

The 46th edition of the Sertoma all-star game will be played Saturday, June 17 at Lloyd Wilson Field on the campus of Hastings College, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. At halftime of the game the Eight-Man Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023 will also be introduced.

Last season the West team scored a series record number points in a 59-14 victory, tying the series at 22-22, with the 2020 game cancelled due to COVID.
