Williams, who set a single-season rushing record for the Cardinals last season, will play for the East squad, coached by Boyle County's Larry French.

Williams competed in the "Border Bowl" In January and has yet to pick a college to attend next season.

Louisville will be on the road at Cincinnati Saturday.

Tipoff is set for 2 p.m.
