A trio of Bristow Pirates will be taking their talents to Hawaii for this year’s Tiki Bowl, a high school all-star showcase.

For brothers Kaylon and Stephan Tolan, getting to the island was no easy feat. Battling through hot summer practices, and four games so far this season, Caleb Ritchie along with brothers Kaylon and Stephon Tolan are in the middle of their final year with the Bristow Pirates.

Getting to this point was no easy task according to Head Coach Brett Jones. He remembers when the twins when they picked up a pigskin for the first time in junior high

"When they were in junior high, they just weren’t athletic standouts,” Jones said. “Through their work ethic and their due diligence, turned into great athletes."

"From 7th grade you wouldn't even think I would be able to carry this team like this,” linebacker Kaylon said.

Now they've earned a chance to play in this year’s Tiki Bowl, a high school all-star showcase in Hawaii.

"Wonderful opportunity for me and him go up there and then cap off our senior year and have a fun time in Hawaii,” quarterback Stephon said.

“The two Tolan brothers are the bell cow of our entire program right now,” Jones said. “They start both ways for us as they go, we go."

Catching a plane ride and relaxing on a Hawaiian beach with the warm ocean is a bucket list item for many of us. For Kaylon and Stephon Tolan, the twins of Bristow, they are about to cross that item off the list. It wasn't easy, a lot of hard work went into it, not just in games and the weight room but also the grass they play on.

"We get to take care of the field and how it looks. Me and my brother, we don't get to mow the field, the coaches do it, but we get to weed eat,” Kaylon said. “We take a lot of pride in it and make it look good.”

"We are planning on playing college together too,” Stephon said. “So whatever college we go together is going to be a fun one."
