Alabama All-Star Game
1953
The South took a 3-1 lead in the series with a decisive 27-0 victory in the sixth annual All-Star game. Operating behind a massive, quick-striking line, the South backs took almost an entire quarter to score the first touchdown -- going 81 yards in 24 plays. The only time the North threatened to score came when Noojin Walker made the longest run of the game -- a 57-yarder -- only to see the South defense rise up and quell the drive at its own 30.
Walker, from Falkville, was voted the most outstanding back, while the South End Nolan Moore of Florala was named the top lineman.
The winning Southerners were coached by J. H. Etheredge, Opp, who headed the staff; James Qunnin, Brookwood; Lewis Beaird, Lee County, Auburn; Carl Cooper, Marion; and Randall Hamner, Fairhope. The North squad was led by Head Coach Fulton Hamilton, Butler High, Huntsville; assisted by Bob Cummins, Leeds; W. R. McKinzey, Aliceville; Earl Warren, Fyffe; and Bill Farrell, Piedmont.
