A year ago at Castleton, the North topped the South, 33-14, to take a 12-11 edge in the series. The game was founded in 2001 by former Middlebury College football coach Mickey Heinecken, now the chairman emeritus of the classic. Proceeds of the game benefit the scholarship and grant program of the Vermont Chapter. Longtime coach Mike Empey is now the game’s chairman.
Coaches: This year’s head coaches are Adam Perry of Fair Haven for the South and Ethan Curtis of Essex for the North. Perry will be joined by his Fair Haven assistants, D.J. Perry, Hunter Muzzy, Caleb Lisai, P.J. Szabo, and Keith Hier. The North assistants are Reid Rando, Tim Root, and Norm Lozier from Mount Mansfield; Taite Carpenter, Kerry LeClair, Rich Lowrey, Mike Porter, Jason Gershon, and Mark Bombard of Essex; and Chris Cadorette of Union-32.
