Bowens made sure to credit his entire team for all of his success at this particular juncture.
It should be noted the Bowens has led the way in Benjmain completing its first Muck City Sweep by beating both Glades Central and Pahokee in the regular season.

“It’s a honor and definitely a testament to how hard our guys have worked this offseason to make me look good on the field,” the 5-foot-11, 209-pound running back said.
Benjamin offensive lineman and UCF verbal commit Chase Malamala (‘24) offered his take on the three-touchdown performance by Bowens against Pahokee.
“He had a great game with a hat trick to end the night,” Malamala said. “It’s great being able to block for a guy like him. If we block well as a unit, it’s a very rewarding experience.”
Bowens spoke on the level of protection that Malamala and his fellow offensive lineman have providing him throughout this season.
“They’re all a bunch of hard-nosed grinders,” Bowens said. “All they know how to do is work.”
Our entire New Era Prep congratulates Bowens on a job well done for himself and the Benjmain Buccaneers. We wish him the best as he goes on to finish his senior season over the next several weeks ahead.
