Wednesday night during Super Bowl<\/a> week marked a show of local talent.<\/p>\n

The Toyota Glow-Up Classic<\/a>, a glow-in-the-dark flag football game featuring Bay Area high school girls, took place on the same field where the Pro Bowl was played inside San Francisco\u2019s Moscone Center.<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, a fan favorite, served as a coach for the game.<\/p>\n

“It was awesome to have the ability to coach up some high school girls and watch them compete and for Toyota to put on such a cool event. I thought it was just an amazing thing,” Purdy told Fox News Digital<\/a> after the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s where the Pro Bowl was played. So, for us to be able to go out there and those girls have fun, score touchdowns, jump in like a Tundra. It was a fun night”<\/p>\n

Eli Manning<\/a> and Kylie Kelce served as officials, and despite his best efforts, he was not perfect, according to Purdy.<\/p>\n

“They did a great job. I mean, Eli threw a couple flags where I was like, \u2018Dude, come on.\u2019 Like, we had a big play. Eli threw a flag, called it back. So, I wish I had a challenge flag to be able to throw out there, but he did a good job,” Purdy joked.<\/p>\n

Division rival Puka Nacua was also a coach, but Purdy said the two were able to put aside their differences for at least a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

“We were chilling. I mean, we both had a good time,” Purdy said. “Puka is a competitor. Love his game and everything, but to be able to go out there and coach up some girls and have fun with it. It was pretty sweet.”<\/p>\n
