Very deserving too. But some of the others I had to scratch my head over.

Unless the organizers have changed their reasoning, this game has been traditionally utilized for players who do not have offers but could play in college. This was primarily for player that need exposure, not to list the best players in the state.

This explains a lot. Thanks Ram for clarification.

My son played in this game and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You have to be nominated and then the player has to accept to play. Some players don't accept and another player will get an opportunity. I can't believe anyone would decline the invitation, unless they had a REAL good reason. KY beat TN that year and my son and his fellow teammate garnered the Defensive MVP and Game MVP honors, respectively. The Border Bowl experience is a VERY fond memory in my son's HS FB career. (which includes a couple of SC's). He did NOT get a scholly from his effort there, but has gone on to play at D1 level and a couple college bowl games. Many lower division colleges contacted him from the BB game experience, he just had his sights set on playing at a higher level. It was a very 1st class affair!

 

PS. Did anyone ever turn in my wife's camera that we lost? lol! A lot of GREAT photos were taken!

Really?......Why in the world would Brandon Roller of HHS in 09 been invited then? He hardly needed the exposure with offers from Louisville & Westpoint. Gotta be something else then exposure. I clearly remember Dudley telling my Nephew at the King of the Bluegrass game in10, to come play for him in the border bowl and then maybe go play at Pikeville for him. That's kind of how I think this bowl game is set up. Colleges telling the right people to get certain players on the roster for another chance to see what's out there. Deserving or not!!! IMO.....

Good Looking Roster for the Ky. Team. Players report Wed. Good Luck to all Ky. Players, Coaches.
