Former De Queen and Nashville High School Football Players are about to Lace Up the Cleats And Play One More Full Contact Football Game

Alumni Football USA has suited up over 10,000 former high school football players over the past 20 years and is now coming to De Queen Arkansas on Thanksgiving week-end to hold a match between one of the oldest rivalries in the state of Arkansas - De Queen Leopards versus Nashville Scrappers. 

Former high school players from De Queen and Nashville will have a chance to play full contact football with former high school teammates and continue the rivalry between the two schools that they were once a part of.

This game will include some of the biggest names in De Queen football history such as Charley White, Justin Powell, Derek Van Voast, Kalem Mickle, Mark Palfreeman and many more. Head Coach of the team representing De Queen will be former De Queen Head Coach Jeff Jones.  Coach Jones said "It’s a great opportunity to come out and coach a great bunch of athletes who at one time went to battle for me as far back as 10 to 15 years ago. I am very excited and look forward to the game". 

Charley White who was the MVP of the thrilling 1993 De Queen Leopard win said “People are asking me how I feel about the game? Do you think you can still play? LOL, are you excited? What does this team look like?  Honestly I feel just like I did the last time that we played Nashville. I want us to win as much as I did in 1994... And yes I think I can still play.  As far as that goes I should be a better and mature player. Our team is looking is looking better than most would expect. Some people may think.. man Charley is taking this serious...the way I see it is that this game not only reflects on those playing but also the current Leopard team of 2011 as well as the spirit of the Leopard fans who want to see a sweep of the Scrappers in 2011.  One of the things that I love the most about this game is getting to suit up in a uniform and play Nashville of all teams, with my best friend and fellow Leopard teammate Mark Palfreeman one more time". Derek Van Voast who was the MVP of the 1998 De Queen Leopard win against the then number 1 ranked Nashville said, "It is an honor to come back and play Nashville in the "pitt" with such a great bunch of athletes including my all-time favorite Charley White, as well as to be coached again by Jeff Jones.

"This is a great opportunity as well for the community to rally around their players and support their school by purchasing concessions and fundraising items at the game. The fans can start purchasing tickets an hour and a half before the game at the gate.  Admission price is $8.00 and children 10 and under are free.
