HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: For Correa, it’s time to shine

Recent Bowie High School graduate David Correa has one more football game left.
Correa will represent the West Texas team during the Oil Bowl game at 7:30 p.m. today at Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls.
“It’s always a special when one of our kids has an opportunity to play in the Oil Bowl,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said.
Stark said Correa is a fine representative for the Bowie football team and the community.
Many ex-Bowie football players have competed in this prestigious game: Garland McCoy in 2014, Tod Jackson in 2013, Madison Firmin in 2012 and Aaron Chokas in 2011.
McCoy went on to play for Texas Lutheran in Seguin. Firmin became a long snapper at Harding University in Searcy, Ark.
Correa said he’s undecided on his future at the point, but some form of college football still remains a possibility.
This week has been enjoyable for Correa, who has stayed in a residence hall at Midwestern State University.
“It’s been a blast,” Correa said. “I’m having a good time, and it’s been a learning experience with all these great athletes. It’s been an honor to be invited to this, and play with some of the best athletes around.”
