Brandon Heath is set to participate in the Big 33 Football Classic that counts all-time greats such as Joe Montana, Tony Dorsett and Dan Marino among its alumni.

"It's a huge honor," said Heath, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive lineman from West Chester Henderson. "I've been watching the game since I was a little kid. When the phone call came telling me that I had been selected, me and my parents [Dave and Deb] were so excited."

The 52d annual all-star event, scheduled for tomorrow night at 7 at HersheyPark Stadium, pits some of Pennsylvania's best players against many of Ohio's finest. The Keystone State has won the last three meetings and has a 12-9 series advantage.
