BLOOMINGTON - For Gavin Day and Edwards Roberts, being selected to play in the 48th annual Illinois Shrine Football Game was honor enough. But each made the game even more memorable by earning the Defensive Most Valuable Player Award for their respective team.Playing safety for the Blue All-Stars, Roberts intercepted a pass, while Red All-Star Day also had a pick, as well as four punt returns, in helping his team to an 11-7 victory Saturday at Illinois Wesleyan University's Tucci Stadium. "It was the most fun I ever had at football," Day said.
