Tx. vs. La. Bowl Game

[broncos92]

Does anyone have a date of when and where this game will be played? What local players do you think will get an invite?

[Cougtalk]

Pretty sure it's at Stallworth thats where it's been past 2 years.

Yep was right heres the link

Answer to your question is no one. all Houston schools mostly on the west side of town.

[Scalpem06]

Does anyone know how many years this game has been played? And which state has won the most?

[Go-rilla]

It's not mostly westside of Houston!!!
It's hosted By the Houston Football coaches Association, and IF any team sends in film of a player they take a look at it. Kyle Padron of Southlake Carroll Played in it 2 years ago.. I would like to see some kids from SETX get in but that is up to their coaches.

The advent of the Southeast Texas Coaches Association All-Star Game, which was played on the same date as the Bayou Bowl, makes it unlikely that any players from SETX will be playing in the annual Texas-Louisiana All Star Game anytime soon.

Weak game. The best school I seen on there was a couple of players going to U of H. I wouldn't call TX vs. LA game because it's not the best players in the state.

Well, that is the case with a lot of All-Star games that are played during the summer as those players who have committed to playing college football, especially those who have signed with FBS schools are either already enrolled at their new school already or are strongly discouraged by their future coaches in participating in such games.

Weak game.

Grad is right. Many players who are signed & delivered don't play, but to call it "a weak game" is unfair.  It's as strong as this type game can be. And it gives some kids a chance to showcase themselves. It's a shame the SE Tx coaches had their game the same day. Are you sure it's the same day this year?

The kids who show up and play, and get treated like kings for a week, and get nike apparel, and get bowl rings dont think its weak. I'm sure the kids that play in any bowl enjoy theirselves, but you dont know much about this if you are calling it weak. It is done pretty right.

Your right, I don't know much about it. BUT, if you present it as this big Texas versus Louisiana then have all of the top players from both states play in it. Come on they play the game at Stallworth. I'm happy for the kids that play in it, but it doesn't grab most peoples attention because it's the leftovers. JMO

unike a game that just takes whatever two kids anyone from the Area sends them?? Is that your definition of an all star game. And By the Way the Chronicle Player of the year ( Darian Lazard) Played last year, So I guess they do get the best, just not from Batson or Doucett, or Sabine pass.

To be fair their were more first round talents on the Dayton vs Crosby game than on this field. =/.
2 D1 kickers
2 D1 Players (Merka and DT from Broncos)

Crosby had some high level d2 prospects on the line. iunno.

HAY broncos who else went d1?

Pearland kids and the Clear Creek kids will. their coaches are big about putting it on.
Tony Heath was the head coach of it last year.

[quarterback]

The 1st game was played in 2003, at Stallworth Stadium.  Jim Creech, Dulles Head Coach, was the coach of the 1st game won by Texas on a field goal as time expired.  We started the game to take the place of the Texas-California game that ended after Texas won its' first game in the series.  California started a game with Florida, we started one with Louisiana.  The Greater Houston Football Coaches Association is the benefactor of the game with the President of the association serving as the Head Coach.  In the beginning, a coach had to belong to the association in order to nominate a player.  We started taking players from the state on a need basis.  If we could not fill positions with players from the Greater Houston Area, we looked elsewhere in the state for the best available player at the position needed.  It is becoming more difficult to get players for the game because colleges want them in summer school.  However, the colleges, when possible, have been very helpful in allowing players to participate.  Coaches need to nominate players and send film to the selection committee in order for a player to be selected.  Coaches on the selection committee will also contact coaches requesting film if they know of a particular player that would be a good addition to the squad.  Once a player is selected, the necessary paperwork must then be completed for one to participate (go to the GHFCA website to see the paperwork required).
