In July, Ohio will send a team of its top football
players to defend the honor of the Buckeye State. The Big 33 Game is
played in Hershey Park Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The game is
one that true football fan's shouldn't miss.
Set for the evening of July 23, 2005. The Waste Management Big 33
Football Classic is recognized as one of the countries best All-Star
games. Many former players have gone on to college and pro football
greatness.
The top former High School football players from Ohio and
Pennsylvania play their last game before heading to college and the next step of
the football ladder.
One of the biggest things the Big 33 can boast about is "There's

uniforms of Ohio and Blue uniforms of Pennsylvania.
