Thanks for clarifying. Was confused I thought it was a real "all american" bowl. I looked up the OD Jr bowl seems like a real cool concept. They actually have a youth all american bowl. Great marketing and a way to get kids to go to there camps. You have to attend there camp to play in the games, but to get a chance to play at cowboys stadium seems worth the money. Very cool camp and showcase that allows kids that might not play in a all star game or at a NFL stadium a great experience .Boeing Brown Named to National All-Star All-American BowlMyrtle Beach, SC – Class of 2013 High School Junior standout Quarterback, BoeingBrown, #13 for Brookfield High School, of Brookfield, Connecticut, has been named tothe 3rd Annual Offense-Defense Junior All-American Bowl and East Team Roster. 6’3”,210 pound, Boeing Brown, a second year starting Quarterback for Brookfield HighSchool’s Varsity Football Team, will join dozens of peers in his age group nationwide inan East meets West clash that is part of a week-long series of events leading up to thenationally-televised, 6th-annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, an All-Star footballgame of similar format showcasing 80 of the top high school seniors in the country.Boeing Brown was selected from a group of young athletes numbering in the thousandsacross the country to participate in this one-of-a-kind All-Star game.

anyone know if any other ct kids made that east team? i would think newsome would have a shot at that but hes only a soph.
CTFOOTBALL95- All I said was what is on the website. It is a great accomplishment for Brown and any other player that made this team. But like I said before I was confused and as I am with all in state kids was truly interested in weather he made a "All-American" team. After reading your first post and Brown's tweet where he calls it the "Junior Showcase Bowl" I went to the OD website and saw that it was for campers (see below it right off the web site). I did not attend to under rate Boeing Brown's accomplishments but just wanted to clarify if he was part of a all american team like the air force junior all american team. So congrats on being selected to play in the OD Junior All American Bowl and for being selected as a member of the U19 USA football team.
Who is invited to participate in Bowl Week?
Each Summer we give out several MVP and Performance awards at each of our 40+ camp locations. Those campers who win awards, in addition to our Elite Camp nominees, are invited (about 20% of total campers).
What is the difference between each game (Youth, Junior, Senior)?
The Youth All-American Bowlers will run the gamut from athletes as young as 7 years old to 14 years old. We will be breaking down this group of players into multiple, age-specific teams. Two teams of 7-and-8 year olds will play each other and so on up to the oldest age brackets of the Youth Bowlers. Junior Bowlers are comprised of Offense-Defense campers who are playing on the high school stage but are not yet eligible for Senior Bowl consideration. The Senior Bowlers are all, as you might expect, high school seniors, about to enter the collegiate ranks. The formats of the games themselves will be similar throughout.
Are there any eligibility concerns related to my child participating in the Junior Bowl?
Athletes are not chosen for participation in the Junior Bowl based on their performance during their high school team's season. Therefore, the event is not a true All-
