RAPHAEL SPENCER NAMED MVP IN MO-KAN GAME

The Missouri All Stars won the MO-KAN game 21-13 over the Kansas All Stars at Southwick Stadium Complex on June 16th, and Raphael Spencer was named the game's most valuable player. ______ The Archbishop O'Hara High School running back was part of the reason the Celtics went to this year's football quarterfinals and he had an outstanding day in the All-Star contest. _____ Spencer broke free for a 71 yard touchdown run from scrimmage that put the Missouri team ahead by two touchdowns in the second quarter. ______ In the final quarter when only eight points separated the two teams, Spencer was called upon to help run out the clock and keep the ball out of the Kansas players' hands. ______ He carried out his mission with four carries eating up thirty valuable yards. _____ The Missouri team was able to convert three times in a row on third and short situations and Spencer came through on two of them. _____ The defenses for both teams played well and whereas the Kansas defense did give up three TD's, the Missouri defense held their opponents to one touchdown and two field goals.
