The 2024-25 high school football season for Palm Beach County is finally in the record books. On Saturday, Jan. 11, the top senior high school football players from Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast met on the gridiron to play in the fourth annual Palm Beach-Treasure Coast High School All-Star Football Game, also known as “The Battle at the Beach.”
The game was played at Jupiter High School, and the western communities had strong representation on the Palm Beach All-Star team.
The Palm Beach All-Stars defeated the Treasure Coast All-Stars, 48-21.
According to game director Brian Coe, the head coach for the Palm Beach team was Chuck Kenyon, the coach at Royal Palm Beach High School. One of Kenyon’s assistant coaches in the game was Brandon Huggins, also from RPBHS. Kenyon was also the head coach of the Palm Beach All-Stars last year.
Kenyon’s roster featured four players from the western communities. They were Matis Gibson (tight end) from Palm Beach Central High School, Jahari Treasure-Walker (wide receiver) from Royal Palm Beach High School, and Preston Swope (defensive end) and Willie Young III (running back) from Seminole Ridge High School.
Kenyon was particularly proud of the effort by Treasure-Walker, who played for Kenyon at RPBHS this past fall.
“Jahari played wide receiver on offense, defensive back on defense, kick returner on special teams and scored a touchdown in the game,” Kenyon said.
At the end of the game, Swope was named the game’s defensive MVP. For his effort, he was rewarded with a $250 college scholarship.
The main sponsor of the game was the law firm Smith, Ball, Báez & Prather.
