The Orange Bowl proudly served as sponsor for Make-A-Wish Southern Florida’s 5th Annual Walk For Wishes® 5k Walk/Run on Saturday February 8, 2014 at Markham Park in Sunrise, FL. The goal of the event was to raise funds to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. More than 1,300 people participated this year, which is about 1000 more people than last year. The event raised more than $170,000. With those contributions, Make-A-Wish generated enough funds to grant the heartfelt wishes of 34 children in our local community. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be involved with Make-A-Wish Southern Florida,” said Eric Poms, CEO of the Orange Bowl. “It’s a great cause and changes lives. That’s what we’re all about, giving back to the community. “We have hosted Wish Kids at the past two Discover Orange Bowls and the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship and it’s rewarding to be able to bring a little joy into their lives at such a challenging time.” Besides sponsoring Walk For Wishes®, most Orange Bowl staff members participated in the 5k Walk/Run, provided snacks and beverages as well as prizes for participants and their families. The Orange Bowl partnered with Sunshine Health, a subsidiary of Centene Corporation, at the City of Fort Lauderdale Orange Bowl Downtown Countdown on New Year’s Eve to create a special graffiti wall with messages of hope and compassion for Make-A- Wish Southern Florida. The graffiti wall was presented to them at the event. For more information on Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, go to http://sfla.wish.org/.

May 2014 InsIde the Orange BOwl | Page 7 A Courageous Comeback San José State’s Anthony Larceval Defies Odds to Get Back on the Field San José State’s Anthony Larceval was named the winner of the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award. Larceval becomes the second player from San José State to win the Courage Award after Neil Parry (2003), now a graduate assistant defensive coach on the Spartans football team. Larceval was honored on the field during the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 3. He received his trophy at the AvMed Coaches Luncheon presented by Deloitte on Jan. 2. The 6-2, 284-pound defensive tackle from Spring Valley, California., was named second team All-Western Athletic Conference in 2012, but he never made it to the team’s bowl practices. On Dec. 14, 2012, he was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with viral meningoencephalitis, a virus that infects and causes swelling in the brain. After slipping into unconsciousness, he didn’t awake until Jan. 5, 2013 and completely missed San José State’s 29-20 Military Bowl victory over Bowling Green on Dec. 27, 2012. “I think back a lot on it,” Larceval said. “I went a month without knowing any part of my life.I essentially lost a month. I reflect on it, knowing I missed the Military Bowl, Christmas, my dad’s birthday and New Year’s. It hurts.” Larceval lost 40 pounds and needed outpatient speech, physical, occupational and recreational therapy to recover. Although the San José State medical staff said he would miss the 2013 season, Anthony defied the prognosis and was back with the team at the start of preseason camp in August. “My mother definitely didn’t want me to come back and play,” Larceval said. “My dad was pushing me to move on. All the time I was thinking of my three younger brothers and that was motivation to come back and do everything and my teammates wearing my name and number in the Military Bowl. Seeing their reactions when I came back on field was tremendous.” During the Spartans’ 6-6 2013 season, Larceval made nine tackles (six unassisted) and had one quarterback hurry. He is a child development major who wants to become a teacher and/or a coach. Parry, who suffered a compound fracture during a 2000 game that led to a partial amputation of his right leg, became the first player to come back and play college football with a prosthetic leg in 2003.
See Page 10 Larceval was recognized as the recipient of the Courage Award winner at the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl On Dec. 14, 2012, Larceval was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with viral meningoencephalitis. After slipping into unconsciousness, he didn’t awake until Jan. 5, 2013.

It was the only thing I could control.” “To see where Anthony was and to see what he went through, nobody thought he was going to be able to come back and play football again. When he got out of the hospital, comes into the (football) office, to see the shape he was in, to be able to get back on to the field is one thing, but to be productive is another,” Parry said. “Anthony is a great young man and put a lot of work into coming back this year. He did a heck of a job just to get back to a normal life and to get back to being a Division I football player is another. It’s very fitting for Anthony to receive this award.” A select group of writers from the FWAA vote on the winner each year. The requirements for nomination include displaying courage on or off the field, including overcoming an injury or physical handicap, preventing a disaster or living through hardship. “Anthony’s story was quite unusual and moving,” said FWAA Executive Director Steve Richardson. “We had numerous good stories of players and others who personified what this award is all about. His was certainly compelling.” Previous winners of the FWAA’s Courage Award are Clemson wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez (2012), Michigan State offensive lineman Arthur Ray Jr. (2011), Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand (2010), the University of Connecticut football team (2009), Tulsa’s Wilson Holloway (2008), Navy’s Zerbin Singleton (2007), Clemson’s Ray Ray McElrathbey (2006), the Tulane football team (2005), Memphis’ Haracio Colen (2004), San José State’s Neil Parry (2003) and Toledo’s William Bratton (2002).

The award, has become the most prestigious college football award for kickers and has been sponsored by the Orange Bowl Committee since 1999. Aguayo made 99.1% of his total kicks, going 21 for 22 on field goals and 94 for 94 on extra points. The 94 extra points have shattered the FBS record for most consecutive PATs in one season. Aguayo made the first 70 kicks of his career, setting the Seminoles’ all-time record for consecutive makes. His 157 points are the most by any kicker this season, the most by any player at any position, and set the single season record for both FSU and the ACC.
Aguayo is the second freshman to ever win the Lou Groza Award, joining 2007 winner Thomas Weber of Arizona State. He is the third FSU kicker to take home the trophy in the 22 year history of the award, joining two-time winner Sebastian Janikowski (1998, 1999) and Graham Gano (2008). The national panel of 750 voters is comprised of college football media, FBS coaches and SIDs, and previous Groza finalists.
With the 15th overall pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers chose Plantation High standout and former Ohio State Buckeye outside linebacker Ryan Shazier. OSU appeared in the 2014 Orange Bowl. Florida State running back Devonta Freeman faced Northern Illinois defensive linemen Ken Bishop in 2013 Orange Bowl and both were drafted. Freeman, helped Miami Central win a state title in 2010. Before that, he played in the Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance. The Dallas Cowboys selected Bishop in seventh round. The Piper high graduate attended Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa before transferring to NIU.

Together, the Orange Bowl and the South Florida community have been able to collect approxiamtely 10,000 pairs of new or moderately used shoes. Congratulations to the winners of the 2013 Orange Bowl Kicks for Kids School Challenge: Nova Middle School, Eugenia B. Thomas K-8 Center, Park Trails Elementary and Dr. WMA Chapman Elementary. Each of the winning schools in the latest contest received a $2,500 grant from the Orange Bowl for collecting the most shoes. The Orange Bowl would like to say thank you to the nearly 50 schools throughout South Florida who participated in this year’s challenge. With their help, more than 4,000 pairs of shoes were collected in 2013. The shoes were then donated to In Jacob’s Shoes, which provides new and gently used shoes, school supplies and athletic gear to children in need. The 2013 Kicks for Kids program was supported by Baptist Health South Florida, which also collected shoes at participating Baptist outpatient services locations.

Florida State is back to make its sixth appearance. They are 4-1 all-time in Classic. Last year, in the 20th annual MetroPCS Orange Bowl Basketball Classic, they handed the University of Massachusetts (#22) its first loss of the season in a closely contested game, 60-55. Last season, Leonard Hamilton’s Seminoles also had big wins over VCU (#10), Clemson and Pittsburgh. Their resume helped them land an invitation and a number one seeding in the NIT, where they made it to the national semi-final, falling just one game short of the championship.
