Kevin Gidrey's Finest


Before I start, I would like to congratulate Kevin on a spectacular collegiate football career starting at ECU(East Carolina) and then following Coach Holtz to finish his senior year at USF(South Florida). With the full support of all Kevin's family and friends, he proved a bunch of people wrong and followed through with his plans to make it to the big leagues. The hard work and continuous effort could not go unnoticed and as the rest of us would say, WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU KEVIN! Keep up the hardwork as you better yourself, and soon we will hopefully see you playing Sunday and Monday nights representing Va hard in the big leagues.


So on to the bowl game! The Meineke Car Care Bowl was the first time these two teams(USF & Clemson) have ever gotten to play against each other. The game started quickly with the Bulls blowing away Clemson in the first half pulling away with a score of 17-13. In the first half , Kevin came away with a big first down reception which led to the touchdown before the end of the half.



Continuing in the second half, Clemson made a couple drives to that brought pressure onto the Bulls but once again they stood there ground and held off Clemson. The final score of the game ended with the USF Bulls ahead 31-26. With that win it boosted USF's seaon record to 8-5. Kevin ended the game with a total of 3 receptions for 34 yards averaging 11.3 yards per reception. His longest reception was 16 yards.


Kevin ended his college career with a total of 22 receptions for 222 yards and one touchdown. Once again, it can't be said enough, but we are so proud of our hometown boy Kevin and we only wish you the best in whatever the future brings! Keep ya head up, your a champion to everyone here in Virginia Beach. Kevin, you represented us to the max, so you only deserve that much respect back.


Drop a comment and let ya boy KG know we got his back and we supporting him every step of the way!!
