While there is no Oak Bowl at this time, there will also not be any Bobcat Alumni Football
game for 2013.
The football staff, along with the Peru State Football Booster Club, made the decision to cancel this
year’s event, scheduled for this Saturday, April 27, due to several reasons.
Low numbers of alumni responses by the noted deadline was a key factor to the decision.
Additional factors influencing the decision were depth concerns due to injuries and the possibility of
moving the game off campus because of usually wet weather conditions.
The Booster Club and football staff are disappointed with the cancellation. They will jointly reevaluate
future alumni contests if alumni participation is low. It is believed there will be plenty of interest for
next year’s game as it would be played on the new turf in the renovated Oak Bowl.
