A star receiver with the H. J. Cody Lakers has been chosen for the North All-Star Team which will play in the Senior Bowl on the May long weekend in Calgary.
Tyler Ledwos was one of 40 players selected to the team following a camp at Clarke Stadium in Edmonton on the weekend.
Only two other players from Central Alberta were selected — quarterback Scott Pearson from Hunting Hills in Red Deer and receiver Joel Bishop from Wetaskiwin.
Both Ledwos and Pearson are teammates on the Prairie Fire Football team which is currently playing in the Calgary and Area Midget Football League.
The Senior Bowl is the Alberta high school all-star game. The program is for graduating Grade 12 players.
The 24th annual Senior Bowl is scheduled for May 20 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary.
Ledwos was named the Lakers’ most valuable player for the second year in a row, at the team’s banquet last month. At that time, Coach Jeremy Braitenback said, “he’s the most talented player in the 16 years I’ve coached, probably the best player we’ve ever had. The one thing I really want to see is you go forward in football.”
Ledwos was also one of eight Lakers who made the Central Alberta High School Football League all-star team.
