At OregonPreps.com we work tirelessly to help our kids find a home. So when we were invited to be on the selection committee we accepted and we know the group running this. They always do a great job. A terrific group of Senior players with Polynesian roots were invited. Then the committee filled in around that group with players who were some of the best the State had to offer.

In addition special attention was paid to the kids who did not have offers but who our staff felt will move on the collegiate level. Add to that the fact we have once again arranged for a live webcast and for every head coach in America to receive an invite to watch and we see this as a terrific game that will be competitive and truly a showcase for these boys.
Join Team Oregon as they Battle Team Alaska. On game come here and watch the event free. It will be some high flying football for sure. The press release is listed below and go over to the Tanoa Bowl Website listed below and have a gander at the roster.
