<p>One of the numerous scheduled activities surrounding the U.S. Army Bowl at 'The Star' in Frisco, TX in December is the four-day National High School Combine (Dec. 18-21). According to the official bowl website, players throughout the country are evaluated on "physical ability, skills, game film, combine numbers, and most importantly their character, values and leadership." Players in grades 9-12 are eligible.</p>
