It’s the first event of its kind to be held in Thibodaux, and Ben Jones, metro area director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said there are few people who can measure up to Bowden’s stature. “Only Archie Manning and Tony Dungy really come to mind,” Jones said. “It’s a pretty small circle. With (Bowden), every college coach knows who he is. To have someone like him come to the area is just phenomenal.”
