For those that attended, was there any celebration of the 50th?

Programs? Reunions? Any mention at all? TIA

Not that I saw but I really didn't look too closely at the programs. The reunions were all champs from 20 years ago.

I saw it mentioned somewhere, but I don't even remember where, if that tells you anything...

Before their respective game they used to introduce players from the game 20 years prior. Did I miss it or did they never introduce the old teams?

Class one was the only one I saw. They had the 1997 Salisbury Panthers there!

Programs? They have programs again? It's a miracle!

Sure does. Thanks!

Media information packet indicated they would be recognizing the 1997 champions, which in class 4 would be Webb City. Didn’t not see them brought on to the field at any point Friday unless they did something before the class 2 game. Don’t know what is going on there.
They did have programs for sale. I would have been thrilled if I were a Ladue fan who purchased on only to find the 2016 Harrisonville 2-deep listed.

I didn't see or hear anything about the 50th Show Me Bowl. I think Classes 1 and 3? were the only 20 yr reunions they had. And yeah, there was only 1 year, I think, that they didn't have programs. I think enough people bitched that they brought them back.
Of course, there's so many mistakes in them that nothing you read can be trusted. On Ladue's page, Harrisonville's starters from the 2016 game were listed. They sell a separate "record book" now. It's mistake-filled also. Not worth buying.

That's too bad. They could have at least found 5 guys from the first Show-me bowl to do the coin toss for each game just so the public could know this is the 50th.

MSHSAA doesn't care about any of this they just want the steady paychecks to keep rolling in.

They had some Jefferson City players before the Class 5 game, and discussed highlights of the game. I remember Justin Gage being mentioned.

That was sweet.
