Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann and Keith Amemiya, executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, announced today the formation of an all-star high school football game between Hawaii and a Mainland team.

The Hawaii Prep Football Classic will be Dec. 12 at Aloha Stadium and will be the second game of a doubleheader.

The annual Hawaii Union Builders Foundation Goodwill Game will be played at 5 p.m. The inaugural Hawaii-Mainland all-star game will follow at 8 p.m.

"We're very excited to announce the creation of a new game, that basically builds upon what the HUB Foundation has been doing for the past 18 years in bringing the best local high school football players on Oahu and showcasing them in a postseason classic," Hannemann said.

Part of the revenue from ticket sales will go to scholarship money for local schools.

Each team will have approximately 40 players with finalized rosters and ticket prices to be announced at a Nov. 12 press conference. Punahou's Manti Te'o, widely regarded as the nation's top linebacker recruit, is expected to play. Plans are in the works for a TV broadcast to be aired on the West Coast.

"We hope the public comes out and supports this doubleheader, which we feel will be exciting and very popular with our fans across the state," Amemiya said.
