Houston, MO- The Annual Texas County Siren Bowl took place on Sunday, September 25, 2022. The event raised $2,820 for the Texas County Shop with a Hero Program. Funds were raised through sponsorships, a silent auction held at the event, concession stand and entry fees, “This was another great event for shop with a hero. I would thank all of the sponsors, volunteers and everyone who came out to watch the game,” stated Program Chairman Bennie Cook
This year the Fire Department & Emergency Services team was able to win their first game in many years. The final score was Texas County Law Enforcement 36 and the Texas County Fire Fighters/Emergency Services 38. A new rule was implemented last year, which allowed the purchasing of runs. This rule was utilized again this year. A few runs were purchased, but the Fire/EMS team was able to hold off the Law Enforcement team.
The teams consisted of players from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Texas County Sheriff’s Department, Licking Police Department & Fire Department, Houston Police Department & Fire Department, Raymondville Fire Department, Houston Rural Fire Department, Cabool Fire Department, Summersville Police Department & Summersville Fire Department, and the Tyrone Fire Department.
