Greendale's Peter Pekar Playing in Football All-Star Game Saturday

Former Greendale tight end Peter Pekar, who in February accepted an invitation to walk-on at the Big 10’s Iowa this fall, will represent the Panthers one last time at the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star game on Saturday.

Pekar, playing for the south team in the “large” enrollment game, is one of only three Woodland Conference players participating in the game. The others are Whitnall wide receiver Sam Mentkowski and Pewaukee’s Jamison Cook.

Brown Deer wide receiver Trayvon Palmer and defensive lineman Javar Tucker and St. Francis offensive lineman Mike Marino will represent the Woodland in the game featuring smaller schools.

Pekar, 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, caught 27 passes for 323 yards for the 6-4 Panthers last fall.

The all-star game is at 5 p.m. at Titan Stadium in Oshkosh.
