Union City head football coach Nick Markle has been chosen to head one of the two teams in the 11th annual Sports Plus West Tennessee High School All-Star Game.
Markle will take his entire staff to participate in the week-long experience, which will culminate with the game on Friday, Dec. 9, at the University School of Jackson. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
A player draft and banquet will begin the week, with practices each day then in the evenings for both teams.
Markle is 21-12 in three years at UCHS and has directed the Tornadoes to the state playoffs in each of those campaigns. He is 48-28 in seven seasons as a head coach overall.
Assistants Cole Clanton, Wade Maddox, Josh Keown, Savion Hayslett, Tucker Kennedy, and game night personnel Stevie Gossett and Lazz Scribner will join the Union City skipper in Jackson.
