Lefors Pirate Braxton Mouser has been selected to Down Under Sports Football Team.
But to get there, Mouser is turning his focus from football to fundraising as he needs $2,000 to be in his account by Friday, Jan. 31.
Mouser will depart for Queensland, Australia on Sunday, June 28 to compete down under for individual honors and a team championship title.

“I have been invited to the Down Under Sports Tournaments hosted on the Gold Coast of Australia, as an ambassador of my community and our country,” Mouser states on his donation page.
“I will be representing Texas on the football team in the 2020 Down Under Bowl. Your sponsorship will be a very important part of fundraising for me and my team. Please help me achieve this once in a lifetime opportunity by contributing.”
Down Under Sports explained their origins in a press release:
Down Under Sports was founded in February 1989 based upon the dream of a New Zealander by the name of George O’Scanlon. George fell in love with athletics, especially American football (gridiron) as a young man growing up in his native country of New Zealand. His desire over the years has been to promote gridiron, not only to the people of New Zealand, but also to Australia where he lived for many years.
That is why George started the Down Under Bowl which eventually led to the establishment of the Down Under Hoops Classic and the Down Under International Games.
The Down Under Sports programs use the common language of sports to bridge the continents and provide a forum for athletes from around the globe to compete head-to-head in the sport they love. During the past thirty one years, Down Under Sports has had the opportunity to share the land down under with tens of thousands of individuals from across the United States.
Some prior standouts of the Down Under Bowl include Jake “The Snake” Plummer (Denver Broncos), Ahman Green (Green Bay Packers). Rob Morris (Indianapolis Colts), Dave Dixon (Minnesota Vikings) and Jesse Williams (Seattle Seahawks).
The 2020 Down Under Sports program will include competition in football, cross country, golf, track and field, basketball, and volleyball. Down Under Sports’ goal is to continue to provide athletes who excel in their sport the opportunity to experience the culture, beauty and grandeur of the land down under all within the framework of spirited and intense competition.
