Bennett and Meeteetse played a 6-man exhibition football game in Texas, back in August 2013, and the coach for Team USA in the Can-Am Bowl, is from Texas.

Bennett says that game is what got the coach's attention and that game was a learning experience.

"The speed was definitely different. We learned how to play faster, play better defense, so we used our defense this year, to play pretty good. Got a hold of our coach, and he came and talked to me about it, and then the Texas Coach asked if I knew of anyone else that wanted to play in it, and they got Sterling in it."

Baker says he has no idea what to expect in the game, but says it's an honor to be selected.

"Obviously they think Seth and I are up to the challenge, and we meet the qualifications to be on the Cam-Am Bowl, so I'm sure there will be a lot of talent, and I'm excited to find out how much talent will actually be there."
