David Miller has been invited to represent Cloudland High School in the annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) East-West Senior All-Star Game.

The annual game, which was first played in January 2010, is a post-season event that brings together selected seniors from over 50 high school football teams in northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

The game allows the selected seniors to showcase their talents while having fellowship with other players and coaches and sharing the message of Christ.

Players gather to practice daily for one week and are treated to a banquet where they will be recognized and presented with both their game jersey and an FCA Bible prior to the game.

This game is part of an attempt to fulfill the FCA Vision and Mission which is to lead coaches and athletes into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, and in turn, see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of those coaches and athletes. (Www.fca.org)
