Kensington Lions Football Classic returns in two weeks

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - The 49th Annual Kensington Lions All-Star High School Football Classic is set to take center stage for a farewell to Western New York’s gridiron seniors.

The event will take place on Wednesday, July 23 at Orchard Park High School. The third annual girls flag football all-star game kicks off the festivities at 5:30 p.m. The boys game follows at 7, featuring players who will play college football at Division I schools like Tulane University and the University of Buffalo.

This game has been going on since 1976 and has only been canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19.
