Traylon Shead to play in U.S. Army All-American Bowl

What a way to end your high school career — playing with the best of the best around the country.
That is what Cayuga's Traylon Shead gets to do as he accepted the invitation to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Tuesday. The game will be in San Antonio on January 9.
When you look at the names of past players, it is quite an impressive list — Vince Young, Ted Ginn, Jr., Reggie Bush, Marcus Spears, Desean Jackson and of course Palestine's own Adrian Peterson.
This is another interesting link between Shead and Peterson. Over the last couple of years there have been lots of comparisons between the two — both Anderson County products, both coached by Tommy Allison and now both having played in one of the top high school games in the country.
Sportlink, who produces the game, put on a nice presentation Tuesday morning at Cayuga High School. In front of the high school student body, Shead was offered the final invitation to the game, which of course he accepted.
