Representing Jacksonville ISD, the Tomato Bowl is going head-to-head with El Paso ISD in this round. The online contest, hosted annually by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, highlights the most beloved high school football stadiums across Texas — and the Tomato Bowl is proving it belongs in that conversation.
