HONALULU, HAWAII – Wheatland High School senior Bode Stone and his family flew to Hawaii over Christmas break to watch Stone play in the Tiki Bowl. The bowl game is by invite-only, thus it is quite an honor to get to compete.
Bode was joined by four other Wyoming high school football players. The Wyoming contingent consisted of: Bode Stone (#50-defensive tackle); Carter Archuleta (#42-linebacker from Douglas); Braunson Sims (#22-comer from Evanston); Davon Crosby (#13-quarterback from Lovell); and Siler Hess (#11-quarterback from Dubois). All five Wyoming athletes played on Team Kekoa (a word meaning “warrior” in Hawaiian, pronounced kay-ko-a.) The coaches for Team Kekoa were Buck Buchanan, Head Football Coach from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas; and Jordan Neal, head coach from McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.
The selection process is set up to ensure the best talent from around the country is represented at the Tiki Bowl. The process is as follows:
Each team consists of 35-40 players. Rosters are small to ensure that each player gets plenty of playing time.
