The National came back to defeat the American 24-17 on Saturday at John I. Leonard High School in the 21st Annual Palm Beach County All-Star Game. It was the first time that the squads were not separated by North and South regions in the county. They were organized by individual cities.
Wellington's Logan Robinson gave the National their first points with a 36-yard field goal at 6:31 of the first quarter. Running back Anthony Wynds of Palm Beach Central responded with a nine-yard touchdown run at the 4:04 mark to give the American their first lead 7-3.
The American extended their margin to 14-3 as Glades Central running back Demetrius Martin raced in from three yards away with 7:20 left in the second quarter. Boynton Beach's kicker Marcos Rodriguez nailed a 23-yard field goal with 2:33 to go in the first half for a ten-point lead 17-7.
After no scoring in the third quarter, the National poured on 17 points in the fourth quarter. Palm Beach Gardens quarterback Eli Matthews threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to West Boca Raton wide receiver Shavon Taylor and cut the American lead to 17-10 at the 10:51 mark. Kings Academy running back Will Bayonne tied the game 17-17 for the National as he rushed in from eight yards out with 6:15 remaining in the fourth.
The National completed the comeback when Palm Beach Lakes quarterback Armani Edden completed a 49-yard pass to Dondre Swint of Atlantic for a go-ahead touchdown with 4:59 left to make it 24-17.
