The Paper Bowl was an independently run college football bowl game played at Pensacola High School's Stadium in Pensacola, Florida. Like many bowl games during its time, it was not officially organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, but its results are included in NCAA records.[1] According to the Pensacola News Journal, proceeds from ticket sales went to the Pensacola High School band, which played at halftime shows with both college bands.
