Coach Kellepourey said, “Coaching in this 25th All Star Game is an honor and privilege. I want to thank all of our Novi football players who have worked together for the past five seasons. I have been so impressed with our players’ commitment and effort to play as a team. Coaching the All Stars will be easy if our East players work well as a team.”
