The City of Petersburg and
The National Football Foundation are sponsoring the Third
Annual East Coast Bowl Game. The game will be played
on Saturday, November 29, 2003, at 12:00 noon at Historic
Cameron Field in Petersburg, VA.
The game is a Division II and III All-Star game that features
the top seniors from across the Mid-Atlantic region. Players
for this year's bowl were selected from the Mid-Atlantic Region
to include South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and parts of New England
from nominations of head coaches and based on individual talent.
There are as many as 23 North Carolinians selected to participate
in this bowl, with 21 coming from the Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association (CIAA).
Players reported Thursday and, along with practicing,
visited local hospitals and elderly care facilities. All proceeds
raised
from this event go into a scholarship fund to be awarded to
an area high school senior who wishes to play football on a
Division II or III level. For further information you can visit
