It’s All-Star Saturday – the Brooklyn High School All-Star game is set for tomorrow at Sheepshead Bay High School – and it’s going to be a special day for several reasons.

And Sheepshead Bay is honoring Coach Richard Reilly by renaming their field after him. “This All-Star Game is named after him and getting the field renamed is adding an extra layer of significance to the event,” Perez added.
