A little history of the East West All-Star Game.

Is there a better way to end a school year than with a state-wide all-star football game? The idea is simple enough in its concept: set up a division of equal-sized schools. In the State of Washington the division is East-West made easy by the natural separation of the state by the Cascade Mountain Range. The natural division, however, is made less easy because the population centers are primarily in the West, so when actual numbers of players are taken into consideration the East is heavily undermanned. So, the governing body of Washington high school athletics, the WAIA (Washington Association of Interscholastic Athletics) included in the East drawing area schools from (approximately) Tacoma through Olympia down the I-5 corridor through Vancouver, Washington and then east through the Tri-Cities and into the football-rich Spokane leagues. It is even, and it is competitive. In the history of the game (suspended from 1959 to 1978 for reasons that are still unclear to me),  the West has a slight edge in number of wins, but in the year 2010, the the East won convincingly.
