The American League defeated the National League during Saturday evening’s all-star game, 32 to 28, at Camden’s Zemp Stadium, capping the first-ever flag football season sponsored by the Jackson Teen Center (JTC), ALPHA Center and local businesses. Two to three players from each of the league’s teams were chosen to play in the all-star game, a way to reward the players not only for their great plays from earlier in the season, but for their hard work in transforming themselves from 100 unruly individuals into 12 coherent teams. “They were fighting with each other during the first games,” ALPHA Center Executive Director Paul Napper said before either of the games began.
