Friday, December 08, 2017
More than 150 New England high school football players will converge at Fore Kicks in Taunton, MA on Sunday to compete and showcase their skills at the inaugural East Coast Football 7-on-7 Showcase.
The one-day event is directed by Kyle Rowley, a record-breaking passer in the Arena Football League. He is a Brown University grad and former All-State quarterback and Super Bowl MVP at Bishop Hendricken High School.
“My goal is to raise the profile of football in the Northeast,” said Rowley, whose professional career spanned 14 years in the Arena Football League. “I have traveled the country throughout my career and it is clear that there is no talent gap when it comes to football. The big difference is the amount of football that is played in warmer weather states.”
