The two storied programs have won a combined nine CIF Championships and six State titles.
“We are pleased to welcome both Servite High School and St. John Bosco High School to SoFi Stadium as a continuation of Friday Night Lights presented by LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk,” said Adolfo Romero, Executive Director for LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk. “This event highlights not only the talent of these student-athletes, but also the spirit of brotherhood and tradition that these two esteemed football programs represent. We are honored to provide a global stage for the Brotherhood Bowl creating a memorable experience for the players, coaches, and fans alike.”
“It has been a goal of ours to bring high school football to the world’s greatest venue and allow student-athletes the experience to play on the home field of the Los Angeles Rams,” said Rams Senior Director of Social Justice and Football Development Johnathan Franklin. “The Brotherhood Bowl is a top matchup of two storied football programs and the memories made on October 18 will last a lifetime for these young men and their families and fans. We are grateful for the partnership with LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk, Hollywood Park and SoFi Stadium to make this possible for Servite and St. John Bosco.”
St. John Bosco head coach Jason Negro, a 1991 graduate of the Bellflower school, said, “It is an honor to officially partner with the Servite Friars for this year’s Brotherhood Bowl to be played at SoFi Stadium. The brotherhood shown by both schools to make this happen has been truly amazing and a testament to our commitment to our schools’ communities!”
Servite head coach Chris Reinert, who graduated from the Anaheim school in 20024, said, “We are thrilled with the opportunity for our team to compete against a fellow all-boys school in a world-class venue. Our young men will have the chance to create a memory of a lifetime with their teammates on the same field as the Rams and the Chargers. We are extremely grateful for the chance to represent the Trinity League as the first two programs to play at SoFi Stadium.”
The two schools played their first football game in 1965. They’ve been playing annually since 1999 as members of the Serra League and now the powerful Trinity League.
This is the third game that will be played at SoFi in October. On October 6th, No. 31 Mission Viejo will play Long Beach Poly. On October 25th, Roosevelt will play Garfield in the 89th annual East L.A. Classic.
