PURPOSE

The primary purpose of the game is to raise money for charities in Texas and Oklahoma. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been raised and divided equally between the two states. Texas' share goes the North Texas Rehabilitation Center of Wichita Falls. Oklahoma's share goes to the Oklahoma Coaches Association charities.

The Oil Bowl started as a simple summertime West Texas vs. East Texas high school all-star football game back in 1938. Today, the Oil Bowl is one of the most prestigious postseason all-star games in the United States

Texas vs. Oklahoma. It doesn't get much better than that. All except one year since 1945, Texas vs. Oklahoma has been the format of the Oil Bowl. The top high school players from the two states go head-to-head every June for football bragging rights.

Many Oil Bowlers have gone on to be stars in college and professional football. Steve Owens went from here to win the Heisman Trophy. Others--like Jack Mildren, J. C. Watts, and Steve Largent--have made names for themselves not only in football, but also in politics.

The game has also featured some coaching legends, both in the high school and college ranks. Texas high school coaching legends such as Gordon Wood, Joe Golding, and G. A. Moore have all coached in the Oil Bowl. Others include: Grant Teaff (Baylor), Matty Bell (SMU), Blair Cherry (Texas), Dutch Meyer (TCU), and Jess Neely (Rice). Hayden Fry is another coaching legend that played in the Oil Bowl.
