Eric Rookard takes his best shot to hold on to the slick football in Friday's game against Fort Meade where it rained throughout the contest. Fort Meade won the Highway 17 Bowl 12-8.
The excitement of two unbeaten teams meeting was enough to draw a big crowd as Bartow prepared to host Fort Meade last night. The excitement had to wait a bit though as bad weather rolled in just before kickoff, delaying the start of the annual Highway 17 Bowl.
And, at the end, Fort Meade remained the undefeated team with a 12-8 victory over the Yellow Jackets in Bartow.
