Kamloops city high school football championship revived under new name: Chow Cup
KAMLOOPS — Local pigskin proponents JP Lancaster, Brad Yamaoka and Cleve Maartman invited Darryl Chow out this past summer under the guise of grabbing a beer with old buddies.
That’s when they broke the news: The long-dormant city senior high school football championship — the Wendy’s Cup (last awarded in 2002) — is making a comeback with a new name: The Chow Cup.
“The first half-hour or so, it was the usual yarns and stories, remember-whens,” Chow recalled of the pub parlance. “Then they said. “OK, let’s tell him the real reason.’ And I go, ‘What?’ They showed me the trophy and I was quite flattered, taken aback and humbled by it.”
