Some of South Jersey's top seniors will be playing their final game in tonight's Adam Taliaferro All-Star Football Classic at Rowan University.

Proceeds go toward the Adam Taliaferro Fun, which goes toward helping others with spinal injuries. Since forming in 2001, the foundation has raised more than $300,000.

Game time is 7 p.m. and in addition to seeing great football, it's always inspiring to catch up with Taliaferro, now a lawyer, who has been a driving force in helping raise funds and awareness for spinal injuries.

One player we think could be a true standout tonight is Glassboro WR-DE Ricky Tunstall, a University of Delaware recruit who is also a major threat as a return man.

Tunstall is competing on the White Roster, which includes players from Camden, Gloucester and Salem County.

The Blue Roster consists of players from Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May and Cumberland counties.

Atlantic City WR Leavander Jones, who is headed to James Madison, is among the many big-play performers for the Blue team.
