Gridiron goes ‘NUTS’ for the annual Buckeye Squirrel Bowl!
DEVILLE, La. (KALB) - If there is one tradition in Central Louisiana that just seems to make sense, it is Buckeye’s annual Thursday night Squirrel Bowl.
“This is what high school football is all about,” said Buckeye Head Football Coach Ben McLaughlin.
On the eve of squirrel hunting season, which opens up on the first day of October, Buckeye fans dress in all camo while going nuts over a chance to bring back home the Squirrel Bowl Trophy.
Ohio State definitely needs to send a coach down to this game.Buckeye’s Jacob Dryden explained just how he prepares for the season.
“What I do is I hang them up in this holder I got, and I clip it on their feet,” said Dryden. “I cut around the neck and pull the fur off, and I just cut them open and get all the guts out. I cut the head off and they’re good.”
