UCLA Bruin football players visited 186th Street Elementary School in Harbor Gateway on Friday to celebrate Super Bowl School Spirit Day. Quarterback Patrick Cowan called the play in the academic huddle. He told the children to "come to school every day, listen to their teachers, do their homework, stay in school, and strive for excellence."
Terrel Ray (left, signing a book), the administrative advisor with the USC, also arrived and told the students to stay in school and get good grades so they can attend top universities like USC and UCLA.
The Bruin athletes in attendance were Raymond Carter, Patrick Cowan, Nick Ekbatani, Courtney Viney and Trevor Theriot (left, reading to students). The players interacted with students and gave them a book emphaisizing the importance of sports activities to promote fitness.
