North Delta School senior Braxton Bailey will leave today for Jackson to prepare for this Friday’s AAA All-Star game sponsored by the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools.
Bailey will be assigned roommates on arrival today, and will begin practice this afternoon. The players from private schools in the state will also practice Wednesday and Thursday and attend an All-Star banquet Thursday (Nov. 30) at Hinds Community College in Pearl.
The All-Star game will be Friday at 3 p.m. at Jackson Preparatory School. Bailey will play for the “white jersey” team and wear his familiar number 51.
Bailey has played football for the Green Wave for eight consecutive years, beginning with peewee football in 5th grade. During his varsity years, he has played both sides of the ball, in various positions, even running the ball some this year and scoring a touchdown.
He will find out which position he will play in the All-Star game after the first day of practice.
He is the son of Phil and Sherry Bailey.
