"We are looking forward to a great weekend of football with the centerpiece being the West Coast Bowl," B2G Chief Creative Officer Henry Bell said in a statement. "We have been able to attract some of the top high school football players in the country and we are excited about their opportunity to showcase their talents one final time before they play on the next level."
Last season, the Green Team defeated the Red Team 21-16 in the first Annual West Coast Bowl played at the then-Home Depot Center in Carson.
A portion of the proceeds from this year's West Coast Bowl will go to Seattle Seahawks cornerback and Compton Dominguez alum Richard Sherman's Blanket Coverage foundation to assists kids with school supplies and clothing. Sherman is a B2G alum.
