The head coaches have been selected for the 2019 Polynesian Bowl — Mike Bellotti and Jim Zorn.

Bellotti, the former Oregon coach who transformed the Ducks into a national powerhouse, will coach Team Makai. After joining the Oregon staff in 1989 as offensive coordinator, he took over the program in 1995 and compiled 116 wins, the most in Ducks history. He took Oregon to 12 bowl games in his tenure, three more than the program had in its history prior to Bellotti's arrival.

Zorn will coach Team Mauka and he has been around football his entire life. He played in the NFL for 12 years — the left-handed quarterback was the signal caller for the Seattle Seahawks' first eight seasons — and threw for over 21,000 yards and 11 touchdowns during his career. He continued his career in football as a coach from 1988 until 2012 including a two-year stint as the head coach of the Washington Redskins (2008-09).

The Polynesian Bowl is one of the fastest growing events in high school athletics. This year's game will be featured on CBS Sports Network on Jan. 19, 2019.

The roster for the 2019 event is loaded with 100 of the best players in the country and the 2020 game is off to a hot start adding the No. 1 quarterback in the nation — DJ Uiagalelei.
