Bayou Bowl set for Saturday

By Doyle Barlow

Baytown Sun 

Published June 3, 2007

Let’s see. Thermometers are headed north, and with all the rain we’ve had lately saturating the ground, so is the humidity. People are flocking to pools, beaches, and water parks, and our air conditioners have replaced the family dogs as our best friends.

It’s hot and only going to get hotter, which means one thing: It’s time to play football.

The Fifth Annual Bayou Bowl will be held at Stallworth Stadium at 8 p.m. next Saturday, with a week’s worth of activities leading up to the game itself.

The Bayou Bowl features 40 of the best graduated seniors from the Houston area against the 40 best senior football players Louisiana has to offer. The result is an awesome array of talent, with many of the participants going on to experience tremendous success at the college and professional level.

Texas’ Brian Arakpo, Iowa’s Drew Tate, Texas Tech’s Danny Amendola, and LSU’s Trindon Holliday and Brandon LaFell are all Bayou Bowl alumni who have made their presence felt at the collegiate level.

“This is a great game for fans who like to watch quality football players,†Bayou Bowl executive committee member Dick Olin said. “You’ll be watching a lot of these players on Saturday’s in the upcoming years and some of them will go on to the NFL. We’d like to encourage everyone to come out. It will be a good time.â€

The series is currently tied 2-2. Texas won the first two Bayou Bowls, with Louisiana capturing the last two. All of the games have been close, with the Texas wins coming by scored of 32-29 and 18-15, and Louisiana winning by scores of 10-7 and 7-3 a year ago.

The Pelican Staters only look to be better this year. Last year the Louisiana High School Football Coaches Association decided to do away with the All-State game, making the Bayou Bowl the only all-star game for Louisiana players.

Head coach for Team Texas is Deer Park head coach Chris Massey, while Team Louisiana head coach is Chris Carrier, who has served as defensive coordinator for Team Louisiana the past two years.

The top-rated player on the Louisiana team is safety Chad Jones. Jones (6-3, 222) the top-rated safety prospect in the nation by Rivals.com is a Parade All-American and he played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, where he was joined by Team Louisiana teammate Stefoin Francois (6-2, 205), the No. 5 safety prospect in the nation according to Rivals.

Leading the way for Team Texas will be Lufkin wide receiver Dez Bryant, who was rated the No. 7 prospect in Texas by Rivals.com. Bryant (6-2, 203) has signed to play at Oklahoma State.

The players will report Tuesday, with Media Day and opening practice sessions set for later that day. After that, the rest of the week will be filled with activities, leading up to Saturday’s game, which will be televised live on the NFL Network.

Included in the activities for the players during the week are trips to Schlitterbahn in Galveston and a Houston Dynamo soccer game, as well as FanFest at San Jacinto Mall in Baytown, where players will be on hand to sign autographs.

Money raised from the Bayou Bowl and the Bayou Bowl Golf Tournament, will go to the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The Bayou Bowl golf Tournament will be held June 8 at Goose Creek Country Club and the 32-team field is already filled. In the last four years, the golf tournament has raised $66,000 for the Shriners, including $25,900 last year alone.

Tickets to the Bayou Bowl are $10 for adults and $5 for students. They can be purchased in advance at Amegy Bank, located at the corner of Garth and Rollingbrook or online at www.bayoubowl.org.

Who ended up winning?  The bit that I did watch was excrutiating because Texas was getting their butts kicked.  Just wondering if Louisiana allows private schools to participate in public school competitions (equivalent of the UIL league here)? 

LA kids were hand pick by the Head Coach.

They did ask Joe McKnight to play.  He said no, or it could have been worse...
