Three Colonels Named As D3 Senior Classic Pre-Season All-Americans
SOUTHFIELDS, N.Y. - The D3 Senior Classic is the premier post season all-star game showcasing the talent of senior players on the NCAA Division III football level. The third annual game will be held on the weekend of December 10, 2011 at Salem Stadium, home of the NCAA D3 National championship game, in Salem, Virginia.

During the past months, the selection committee members of the D3 Senior Classic organization have researched many outstanding and deserving players from the graduating class of 2012, to be honored as 2011 All-Americans.

Curry senior center Brian Kureta and senior defensive back Chris Haddad were both named as Second Team All-Americans, while senior offensive tackle Brian Woollard was named as Honorable Mention All-American.

“The announcement today of our preseason All-American team honors the deserving, dedicated, and passionate players found on this level of college football. We are proud to be associated with D3 football," stated by Peter St. Lawrence, co-founder of the D3 Senior Classic game, during a press conference held 7/28 in New York to announce the team.

Invites will be mailed beginning in September and up to the November 15, 2011 commitment deadline. 80 players will participate in the 2011 game, represented in a North vs South format. Last year the North won a wild 26-18 game. In Addition, the D3 Senior Classic website will post a player "watch list" throughout the upcoming season. Nominations for deserving players are welcome from all fans and followers of D3 football.
