The Michigan High School Football Coaches Association has announced that it's moving this year's East-West All-Star game from Michigan State's Spartan Stadium to Central Michigan on June 25th.

The game, which has been played at MSU for 27 years had to be moved when a cancelled 2010 U2 concert was rescheduled for the same dates as the all-state game.

“We are extremely pleased to play the 2011 MHSFCA East-West All Star Game at CMU on June 25,” said Gus Kapolka, MHSFCA All-Star Game director. “The location at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant will be excellent for fans of high school football in Michigan and the families and friendsof the players and coaches. As a part of our continued efforts to make the event a tremendous experience for the participating players and their fans and supporters, we have also partnered with CMU to host for the first time, the MHSFCA All Star Game Selection Show to announce the 44 East team and 44 Westteam players live on-line via streaming video.”

“Our entire campus community is very excited to partner with the MHSFCA on this event, and we look forward to providing an outstanding experience for the players, coaches and fans who will be visiting our campus this summer,” said CMU Director of Athletics Dave Heeke. “The All Star Game is a unique opportunity in the lives of these athletes, and we take great pride in having the opportunity to host the game, and the events surrounding it, in Mount Pleasant.”

Later this week, MHSFCA officials will announce the 88-player rosters.
