FOURTH ANNUAL CATHOLIC BOWL IV
September 14 | The Star in Frisco, Texas
FRISCO, TEXAS – Welcome everyone to the Fourth Annual Catholic Bowl IV, produced by Global Football, happening right here in Frisco, Texas! This highly anticipated event will be taking place at Ford Center Stadium, part of The Star – the world-class practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys. Our unique gathering is about much more than just football; it’s a celebration of Faith, Freedom, and Football; the spirit of resilience that sports can inspire in all of us. As we come together for this special occasion, we’re not just competing on the field; we’re also taking a moment to remember and learn from the tragedies of 9/11. It’s a time to reflect on the values that unite us – courage, perseverance, and solidarity. Six notable Catholic high school football teams will go head-to-head in a thrilling three-game showcase of talent, teamwork, and determination. It’s a day for athletes to shine, for communities to come together, and for all of us to honor the heroes of our past while forging new legacies. So, get ready for an unforgettable day of Faith, Freedom, and Football at the Catholic Bowl IV. See you at The Star!
