Two members of the Mercer Island High School football team were named to the 2012 Washington State Football Coaches Association annual East/West All-Star football team.

The game, which will be held at the end of June, features top players from across the state.

Mercer Island seniors Alex Wood and Cameron Ogard were both named to the team. Wood will play as the punter/kicker and Ogard played tight end.

The game will be played on June 30 at 1 p.m. in Everett Memorial Stadium.

Gordon Elliott, head coach at Auburn, will coach the West squad, while Steve Kizer, head coach at Skyview, will coach the East team.
