Well it looks like Booker T Washing and Miami central are playing in these games on the 27th, Booker T will face Bingham (Utah) who is ranked number 8, Miami Central will face No. 16 Bothell (Wa.), any Thoughts of these two games? I am sure Booker T will run them off the field, but the team Central play looks pretty good

So then your not a fan of the under armour, Army, Semper Fidelis, and O/D All American games. Bro liten up, it gives ALL the kids extra time to play one more game together.

A school like East Side Catholic from Seattle Washington will benefit from the exposure and another team from Utah hasn't played a game since Nov 22, so it gives the team an extra month togeher. Not to mention it allows for under the radar kids to get a little more exposure, and underclassmen to get needed reps.

Looks like @MiamiBTW_FB, ranked No. 3 by USA Today, will play no. 8 Bingham (Utah) and No. 6 @CEN_Rockets will play No. 16 Bothell (Wa.)



The three-game Bowl Series will be held Dec. 27 at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton and involve three schools from Florida taking on opponents from three schools flying in from Utah and Washington.
