A Photographic Look At Drake's Historic Football Game In Africa

Saturday, May 21, 2011

ARUSHA, Tanzania--The Drake Bulldogs defeated a team of collegiate all-stars from Mexico's CONADEIP Conference 17-7 Saturday in the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl, the first organized game of American football played on the continent of Africa. 

Commemorating the event for Drake was longtime photographer Chris Donahue (below), who celebrated his love for the Bulldogs by making the trip to ensure this historic trip's memories would be preserved.  He has sent back many photos included into this photo gallery and will have many more upon the team's return from Africa.
