On July 13, 2012 Gretna's Coleman Osborne and Tony Miller participated in the 2012 East-West VHSCA All Star Football Game. The game was played at Darling Stadium in Hampton Virginia and was the conclusion of the week-long Coaches Clinic and All Star Games. Both players were on the West squad. Gretna's Head Coach Kevin Saunders was an assistant coach for the West. Tony started on defense at linebacker and also started on special teams. Coleman started the game at center and was long snapper for the punt team and the field goal team. Both players made key plays in the game. Tony had a jarring tackle on the quarterback which forced a fumble that the West returned for an apparent touchdown before a penalty brought the play back. Coleman was the long snapper on an perfectly executed 52 yard field goal. The West jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first half but the East came back and scored with under a minute to play to win 31-24. Congratulations to Coleman, Tony and Coach Saunders. They represented the Hawks well.
