Nearly two weeks ago, Nocona High School’s Tyler O’Neal fielded an unexpected call.
O’Neal was asked if he was interested in participating in the 77th Annual Maskat Shrine Oil Bowl Classic football game. He jumped at the chance.
“Someone else dropped out of the game, and I was happy to step in,” O’Neal said.
Even though O’Neal played sparingly, mainly during the fourth quarter, being a part of this benchmark all-star contest was a thrill for him.
“It was a great experience,” he said. “I can’t explain it in words. It was great to come out and play football again.”
O’Neal was seen memorizing plays while on the sidelines, waiting for his opportunity to get in the game.
One thing was for sure, the Nocona helmet logo was a popular decal on players’ helmets. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
