WACO (February 12, 2012) – Heart of Texas’ Fellowship of Christian Athletes held a press conference on Sunday, February 12 in the Galloway Suites at Baylor University’s Floyd Casey Stadium. The FCA introduced the players and the cheerleaders that will participate in the 4th Annual FCA Super Centex Victory Bowl.
Participants were selected from 91 high schools over 12 counties in Central Texas. Members of each team were nominated by their high school coaches or sponsors following the 2011 football season. The final rosters were then selected by this years Coaching Staffs. 92 players, 20 cheerleaders, and 10 area head coaches have been divided into a red and a blue team that will compete at Floyd Casey Stadium on June 9, 2012. Kickoff will take place at 6:30 PM.
Players and cheerleaders will arrive in Waco on June 6, 2012 for three days of practice and fellowship provided by volunteers in the Waco and surrounding communities. Each participant will stay at a home of host families throughout the city. In addition to practices and team fellowship members of each team will participate in a football clinic as well as some service projects in the community. New to this year’s Victory Bowl will be the addition of a high school marching band.
