Ndamukong Suh went from Les Schwab Bowl to Super Bowl title: Oregon high school all-star game through the yea - OregonLive

The annual Les Schwab Bowl -- a high school football all-star game traditionally featuring Oregon’s top graduated seniors -- takes place July 3 at Linfield University in McMinnville.

One new feature this year -- in light of the coronavirus-shortened regular season -- is that underclassmen will be competing in the game for the first time in its 73-year history.

The game will also feature players from southwest Washington schools for the first time. That was going to happen last year had the game pitting the North roster against the South not been canceled.

Here’s a look at each of the previous Les Schwab bowls since 2000, and a look back at some of the biggest names to have played in the event.

The chippiness even spilled into the postgame handshake line, with trash talk and offers to meet up in the parking lot being exchanged as the teams met at midfield.
