BEAUMONT, Texas — The Friday night lights will be shining a spotlight on one of the biggest games in the 409 -- undefeated West Brook vs. undefeated Beaumont United.
This week's 409Sports Game of the Week is also BISD's second annual Alumni Bowl. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at BISD's Memorial Stadium.
The battle for the BISD Alumni Trophy was rescheduled after Tropical Storm Imelda flooded Beaumont and Beaumont United's campus.
The Bruins and Timberwolves rival will be one to watch. Last season the Bruins won the first Alumni Bowl meeting against Beaumont United 45-10, but the rematch is expected to be much closer.

Both teams opened District 21-6A play with victories. Beaumont United grabbed a tough 17-7 win at Baytown Sterling, while the Bruins defended their home field with a tough 27-20 victory against CE King.
