= The Bass Bowl =

The Bass Bowl is an annual high school rivalry football game between Clear Lake High School (Lakeport, California) and nearby Kelseyville High School. While the rivalry dates back to the 1930's, the inaugural Bass Bowl was first held on September 24, 2010, at Clear Lake High's home field in Lakeport. Kelseyville won this game 34-20, and was awarded possession of "Billy Big Mouth," a wood carved big mouth bass trophy, until the next Bass Bowl.

The bowl's name was inspired by the fact that Clear Lake is one of the leading bass tournament lakes in the western United States, hosting several major tournaments each year.

The inaugural Bass Bowl did not include a pageant, parade, or additional activities, but they are planned for the 2011 event and beyond.
