Three Bauxite High School football players, Steve Allinson, Randy Bellinger and Gary Gentry, have been selected for listing in the Prep All-America Football Year book 1974-75. The announcement was made this week by Coach Athlete magazine and Bauxite Coach Jim Massarelli. Athletes listed in the yearbook are nominated by coaches, sportswriters and college recruiters and are “representative of the most outstanding football players in their school and community.” Each nominee listed in the yearbook is considered for Coach Athlete’s Prep All- America Football 100 Team. Allinson, a 5-10, 160-pound back, was all-district and all state in 1974. He was offensive player of the week in two games and defensive player of the week once.
