Last night, Coach Bowen was rushed to a hospital with a likely heart attack. He was pronounced dead, in the early morning hours. Many of his team and leadership were with him during the final moments.

Former Charger & current OSU Cowboy, Jordan Frazier, said;
"I'd do just about anything to flip one more tire for one of the greatest and most influential coaches I have ever had. I will forever cherish the time I had with Coach Bowen, and I know all of my fellow high school teammates feel the same way. Coach Bowen was the epitome of a coach who would go the extra mile to ensure the well being emotionally, physically, and spiritually of a player. He was a great man, person, and role model. I'll never forget the conversations we had together. He will be missed by so many."
