Matthew Baer Nominated to Attend Offense-Defense All-American Bowl in New Orleans

While attending several Football Camps over the summer, Matthew Baer, 5th grader at Pinecrest, was named an Offense-Defense All-American and invited to participate in the 12th Annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities taking place in December, 2017, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Matthew, a Defensive End for the Sharon Springs South Forsyth War Eagles Select Team, was selected for this honor from an outstanding group of thousands of athletes across the country and played well representing the Sharon Springs South Forsyth War Eagles, easily validating the Bowl Selection Committee’s choice in tabbing Baer for the All-American tilt.

The Offense-Defense All-American Bowl is the culmination of a week-long worth of events. The 12th Annual All-American game is just one of many things that this week encompasses. Also included is an All-Star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country, and has featured current NFL pros such as Heisman Trophy winners Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton, as well as Joe Haden, Dez Bryant, and many others before they were collegiate and later professional stars.
