Bowie High School quarterback Garland McCoy and Nocona’s Tyler O’Neal are set for Saturday’s 77th Annual Maskat Shrine Oil Bowl Classic.
The game will take place at 7:30 p.m. on June 14 at Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls.
O’Neal was a late addition to the East squad after another tight end that was expected to play dropped out. McCoy will play for the West team.
“Garland was a huge leader for us,” Bowie Head Coach Dylan Stark said. “We were confident with the ball in his hands. He made our offense go as a dual-threat option. He’s a smart kid who knows the game.”
McCoy is slated to continue his football career as Texas Lutheran University in Seguin. For more, read the weekend edition of The Bowie News.
