Mineola resident Zachary Bohringer, 9, was named an Offense-Defense All-American and invited to participate in the 10th-annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities in Daytona, FL.
Bohringer, a defensive lineman for the Mineola Chiefs, was selected for this honor from a group of young athletes numbering in the thousands across the country and played well representing Mineola, validating the Bowl Selection Committee’s choice in tabbing Bohringer for the All-Star tilt.
He earned the invitation by performing at O-D camp in both Long Island and New England. The O-D Bowl Committee chose Bohringer for the All-American Bowl Game in Daytona as a defensive lineman.
The Offense-Defense Youth All-American Bowl is part of a week-long series of events including the televised, Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, an All-Star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country and has featured current NFL pros such as Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, Cleveland Browns defensive back Joe Haden and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.
