As part of the effort to turn the Maskat Shrine Oil Bowl into a hyper-local event, football game organizers have selected area coaches.
Bowie High School’s Dylan Stark and Brian Hodnett from Jacksboro are just two of the men who will be making their first appearance as coaches in the Oil Bowl, which is slated for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 10, at Wichita Falls’ Memorial Stadium.
“It’s a great honor when you look at the history and tradition of the game,” Stark said. “I am grateful.”
Stark has guided Bowie to back-to-back 6-6 seasons, which included bi-district championships in both years. He coached the Jackrabbits to a school-record point total during the 2015 season.
Stark said City View’s Rudy Hawkins will serve as the head coach of the East squad. Stark will be the offensive coordinator.
Stark also reported Cody Patton, the former Holliday and current Tioga coach, will serve as the defensive coordinator.
As one of the lead coaches in the game, Stark will be able to select a Bowie assistant coach to join him on the East – but he hasn’t made that determination yet.
There will be a few rules changes in the game to protect player safety.
For example, defenses only will be able to rush defensive linemen, so linebackers and defensive backs won’t blitz. Punts will be returned; but, punters and kickers won’t face a rush.
Stark said the process of recruiting for the game is underway. Letters of interest have been mailed out to prospective players, but names won’t be released for several weeks. Read more in the Jan. 18 Bowie News.

The Bowie Jackrabbits won against City View at home on Tuesday night.
The Jackrabbits won by run rule 10-0 in the sixth inning as they took it to the Mustangs.
Bowie was coming off a tough loss against Holliday and would be going into a small break after Tuesday’s game. Needing a bit of a pick-me-up, the Jackrabbits relished feasting on a City View team that has struggled the last several seasons.
Edmond DeLeon got his third district start on the mound and started out dominant striking out the side.
Bowie got on the board fast as leadoff batter Brody Armstrong was hit by a pitch, stole second base and then was driven in by a single from Tucker Jones.
