ALL-STAR FOOTBALL: ALL-STAR GAME GIVES SOME PREP ATHLETES FINAL CHANCE.Byline: Gerry Gittelson Daily News Staff Writer Devin Montgomery looks to Saturday's third Valley Conference All-Star Football Game at Cal State Northridge (7 p.m. kickoff) as more than a celebration for high school seniors. The Alemany High wide receiver figures it's an opportunity to showcase his skills one last time, perhaps for a college coach who still has a scholarship available. ``Devin is the one guy who really is on the bubble,'' said East coach Jim Bonds of Alemany. ``This is a good chance for him to show what he can do.'' Montgomery gained 1,500 yards in eight, eight-man football Eight-man football is a type of American football, generally played by small high schools. Rules and formations vary greatly among states and even among different organizations, but the one constant is eight players from each team on the field at one time, as opposed to eleven-man games as a tailback at Ribet Academy when he was in ninth grade.

I feel all right about it,'' Enoch said. ``Dallas is just happy to be on the team. The bottom line is he wants to play,'' said Calabasas coach Larry Edwards, an assistant for the West. ``We're just trying to get guys in the game, and Dallas is 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, so he's pretty good on defense. He's a fine athlete, no question it, and he's showing a real positive attitude.'' Add new positions: Enoch isn't the only one adjusting to a new position.
