Rosters for Taliaferro Classic set

The rosters have been set for the Adam Taliaferro Football Classic, the annual all-star game featuring some of the best seniors in South Jersey.

The rosters have been set for the Adam Taliaferro Football Classic, the annual all-star game featuring some of the best seniors in South Jersey.

This year's game will be held June 25 at Rowan University. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Buena's Paul Callahan is the coach of the Blue team, with players from Burlington, Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland Counties.

Triton's Pete Goetz will coach the White squad, which consists of players from Camden, Gloucester and Salem Counties.

Two Inquirer first-team all-South Jersey players lead the Blue squad: linebacker Justin Miller of Shawnee and defensive back Sean Carroll of Seneca.

Glassboro wide receiver Ricky Tunstall, a member of the The Inquirer's all-South Jersey first team as an all-purpose back, heads the White squad.

Proceeds from the game go toward the Adam Taliaferro Foundation, which raises money for athletes who have suffered spinal injuries. The game is the major fund-raiser for the foundation, which has collected more than $300,000 since its inception in 2001.

Taliaferro is a former two-way back for Eastern who was paralyzed while making a tackle for Penn State in 2000, but who later recovered.

The White won last year's game, 30-18 as Audubon's Steve Rizzo, now at Colgate, threw for 172 yards and a touchdown, and ran for another score.
