The Third Annual River Bowl Classic was the biggest to date with the community coming together for an evening of spirited racing, great food, music and cheering! Participants and spectators alike displayed their school pride and connected with old friends. 

In rowing, Star Spencer took first, John Marshall second and Millwod was third. Northwest Classen, Douglass, Northeast Academy and Southeast also competed in the fierce battle on the water. Boeing volunteers helped get 25 youth kayakers on the water for racing as the next generation joined the action.

The River Bowl was founded by Shawntay Alexander to capture the spirit of the Soul Bowl – the classic football rivalry between Millwood and Douglass.  We celebrate Oklahoma City’s Black culture, as they vie for bragging rights on the water!
