12th Winnipeg high school Senior Bowl runs this weekend: Back to the future (rosters)

The 12th annual Winnipeg high school football league (WHSFL) Senior Bowl game takes place this saturday at noon at the East Side Eagles field. The two teams will be coached by legendary coaches Frank Bryan (Team Bryan) and Graham Kinley (Team Kinley). In the 60’s and 70’s these two gentlemen appeared in 15 WHSFL finals and coached a total of 9 championship teams. Team Bryan is led by WHSFL offensive MVP Nic Demski (Oak Park – Manitoba Bison commit) and Team Kinley is led by WHSFL defensive MVP D.J. Lalama (St. Paul’s – Western commit). The game includes many WHSFL all-stars and Team Manitoba U18 alumni.

The inaugural Senior Bowl game was played at Winnipeg Stadium May 27, 2000. It was also decided that the game could serve the amateur football community as a fundraiser. The teams played for the coveted Gerry James Trophy which was designed and created by the instructors and students of the Industrial Maintenance Technician and Industrial Welding programs at Winnipeg Technical College.

The Blue Bomber Alumni organizing committee was assisted by Ron Gustafson, the Commissioner of the Winnipeg High School Football League (WHSFL) and later that year by the in-coming Executive Director of Football Manitoba, Rob Berkowits.
