Four community football players from Surrey and North Delta have made the 40-player Under-15 roster that will represent British Columbia at the Football USA International Bowl event to be held in Arlington, Texas from February 5 to 7. Team B.C. includes offensive lineman Brayden Gatland (Cloverdale), receiver Tyler Moxin (North Delta), defensive back Joel Klaassen (North Surrey) and running back Zander Bailey (North Surrey).
The team's coaching staff also includes some local flavour as former Surrey Rams head coach Nick Kawaza will serve as offensive coordinator while Sean Dolynski (North Surrey Minor Football) will coach the linebackers.
While in Texas, U-15 Team BC will be competing in a mini-game tournament at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys on Feb. 5 and then competing in a full game against a team of USA 9th graders on Feb. 7 at University of Texas-Arlington.
