  Well Represented: Strom Thurmond at the North South Allstar Game By Tim Crane web posted November 5, 2009 SPORTS – Two players and one coach from Strom Thurmond have been selected to participate in the 62nd Annual North South Allstar game, which will be played at Myrtle Beach High School on December 12th. Eighty eight of the state’s top players and twelve of the state’s top head coaches are selected to participate in this prestigious game. Strom Thurmond will represent the North roster this season. Marcelis Thompson, senior linebacker, was selected due to his outstanding performance this season. Whenever Thompson is on the field, he is always around the football. He displays as much heart and character as anyone on the field. He has 76 tackles, two interceptions (both returned for touchdowns), four blocked point after attempts, one fumble recovery and too many bonecrushing hits to list. Jonathon “Jon Jon” Williams, senior offensive lineman, was selected due to his outstanding performance this season. Jon Jon is listed as 6’4” 235lbs and is freakishly strong. Williams was a starter his sophomore season, but sat out his junior year due to a shoulder injury. This season, he has been making up for lost times as he has been pushing opposing defensive players around the field. Jonathan is so talented that he has even seen playing time as a linebacker and a defensive end this season. Rebel Head Coach Lee Sawyer was selected to be an assistant coach by the Coaches Association. Sawyer has five region titles, one state championship and a 60-15 record as head coach of Strom Thurmond. His Rebel teams are 29-1 in region play and have made the playoffs in each of his first six seasons as head coach. Sawyer will be coaching inside and outside linebackers on the North team. Assistant coach’s selections are based on tenure and performance. Usual time for a good head coach to make the North/South roster is approximately ten years. After a few times of being selected as an assistant, one can qualify to be a head coach of the North South game. “I was very pleased when I heard that Lee made the team. He does an outstanding job as head coach and we are all very proud of Strom Thurmond and Lee. I can assure you that Lee and his two players made this team on merit. They are very good at what they do. Coach Sawyer and I have a long history that goes back even before my days at Batesburg-Leesville. I consider him a close friend and a heck of a football coach. He and his players will be a great asset to my team.” Gaffney Head Coach and North team Head Coach Phil Strickland said.
