Bishop McDevitt's Noah Spence at Under Armour All-America Game: "Feels like just another high school practice."
ANDREW P. SHAY, The Patriot-News, January 03, 2012

ORLANDO, Fla. ? Noah Spence is still, well, Noah Spence.

The Bishop McDevitt defensive end is one of the premiere players in the shadow of Walt Disney World getting ready for the Under Armour All-America Game Thursday in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Spence is certainly getting his fair share of national attention during the three-hour practice sessions at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex.

But to the 6-4, 245-pound edge rusher, it still feels like another practice at McDevitt Field.

?It's practice, so it's not going to be easy. I just go out there work as hard as I can so it's not that hard,? said Spence, who is a member of the Black Team in a game that features nearly 30 of the top 50 high school recruits in the country.

?To me it feels like just another high school practice. But it has been fun. We're battling out there, but it's been fun.?

High School Football: Noah Spence Gearing up for Under Armour?s All-American Game

Bishop McDevitt's Noah Spence practices for the 2012 Under Armour All-America High School Football Game on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Walt Disney World, FL. The game will be played Thursday, January 5 at Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL - (VICKI VELLIOS BRINER, The Patriot-News )

ORLANDO, Fla.- Almost every high school football player on any top 100 recruiting list in the country has a choice to make before heading off to college: Under Armour or U.S. Army?

There are two elite high school football all-star games on the national stage. Each basically invites the same top 50 players in the land. No matter which one they pick, they can?t lose. Both pay all expenses for the participant and some for their family to join them.

The U.S. Army contest in Texas is the elder statesman of the duo, having been played for more than 12 years. But Under Armour?s All-American Florida contest has been rapidly gaining popularity since its inception five years ago.

The reasons are obvious, said Bishop McDevitt head coach Jeff Weachter, part of the 2012 Under Armour coaching staff in Orlando.

?When you get here, it?s just pure class. Every little detail they have covered,? he said this week. ?Then you get a chance to be around some of the NFL, college and high school coaches, and you can tell it?s just another level.?

Noah Spence balled out tonight for his sorry team
he was makin plays from start to finish
2 sacks
goal line stand...almost by himself
first down-forced fumble
second down-chases down winston from behind to prevent td
third down-forces rb further outside where he is stuffed by linebacker and saftey
fourth down-grabs winston from the pile and throws him on the ground
Noah was in the backfield on alll night

In fall practice (where you earn your spot) Spence will be going up against some verry inexperienced tackles(correct me if i am wrong)
he will be a force!

now we get preview of the rest of d-line on saturday!

Noah Spence shows elite range during Under Armour All-America game
ANDREW P. SHAY, The Patriot-News, January 05, 2012

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. -- All-Star high school football games often favor the offense with all that speed and athleticism at the skill positions.

In the fifth version of the Under Armour All-America game Thursday night at Tropicana Field, it's hard to imagine playing quarterback was all that much fun.

All the gear these big-time recruits took in during their week-long stay in chilly central Florida was a nice haul, but the quarterbacks on this night should have received hazardous duty pay.

No fewer than five of the top 13 overall recruits in the country, in a game won by the Team Blur (White) 49-16 over Team Highlight (Black), were defensive linemen ? including Bishop McDevitt defensive end Noah Spence.

All game the quarterbacks were under siege, and spent a good part of the game either on their backs or scrambling for dear life.

At halftime, the Under Armour folks had to do a quick switch at the quarterback position. One of the signal callers from the eventual winning Team Blur had to switch colors because Team Highlight's two quarterbacks were so banged up.

Yes, it was the kind of night for the guys under center.

My unofficial total had the two clubs amassing 13 quarterback sacks in a game where big plays accounted for almost all the scoring.

In the first quarter alone, Team Highlight terrorized the opposing quarterbacks with a staggering six sacks.

Spence was front-and-center in the sack storm with his usual off-the-edge dominance.

The 6-4, 245-pound Ohio State recruit etched his name in the Under Armour All-America Game record books with three sacks.

?He had an awesome game. I talked to him right before the game and told him it's time for the big stars to come out. And he did. He played so well,? Bishop McDevitt head coach and Under Armour assistant Jeff Weachter said.

?The record is what he was going for. I said to him in the locker room before the game, three tonight. And he went out and got it.?

Neither of the offensive linemen, Maryland recruit Mike Madaras or Alabama verbal Brandon Greene, had much luck slowing Spence down either.

?I was real surprised. I didn't think it would be like this. It felt like another high school game,? said Spence, who in addition to his three sacks, also had two forced fumbles, a tackle for a loss and four other tackles.

?I was just getting by guys and doing what I do. Yeah, that did surprise me. It felt good.?

?I was nervous until I got out here and saw my family and everything. I just tried my best. I wanted the record, and got it.?
