HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WCBI) — Mississippi is ready to end the streak.

For the last eight years, the Mississippi High School Football All-Stars have come up short versus the rivals from Alabama in their annual battle on the gridiron.

Starkville’s AJ Brown is one of ten area players that will compete in the MS-AL All-Star Game this Saturday in Hattiesburg.

This year, the Magnolia State stars believe it is their year to snap the skid.

For the first time in the game’s history, the state of Mississippi will host the event at M.M. Roberts Stadium on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi.

Players and coaches believe that’s the edge they need to get over the hump on the scoreboard and with the officials.

Last season, Mississippi lost on a controversial touchdown pass with no time remaining to Alabama. The two years prior, Mississippi lost by a total of nine points to their rivals from the Yellowhammer State.

Kickoff of the MS-AL All-Star Football game will be Saturday at 12:00pm. Area players you will see on the field playing for the MS All-Stars are:

A.J. Brown, Starkville
Quin Jones, Lafayette
Jack Abraham, Oxford (injured)
DK Metcalf, Oxford
Tyrell Price, Lafayette
Vijay Miller, Itawamba AHS
Kobe Jones, Starkville
