When Football Players Go Bowling, Gifts Are Sure To Follow

A look at how Creve Coeur area prep standouts are being rewarded this holiday season as their college football programs reach postseason bowl games.

For the players, a trip to Shreveport, Pasadena or New York City also often means a literal shopping spree worth hundreds of dollars.
