Area players selected for 52nd Kansas Shrine Bowl

The Kansas Shrine Bowl on Wednesday announced the 88 players across the state of Kansas who were selected to play in the 52nd Annual Kansas Shrine Bowl to be held on Saturday, June 21, at Memorial Stadium in Dodge City. It is the first time since 2019 and the second time that Dodge City will be host to the event.

Area athletes from southwest Kansas were selected to the West team for this year’s Shrine Bowl. This includes Jayden Amaro of Dodge City, Drayton Knoll from Holcomb, Hudson Rice from Liberal and Scott City’s Jackson Rumford.

The Head Coach for the West team is Wichita Heights Coach Dominck Dingle.

According to a release from the Kansas Shrine Bowl, the initial invitations are the result of a selection process combining statewide media votes and Kansas Shrine Bowl coaching staff selections from a list of 447 nominees. In addition to filling position specific needs on the roster, the selection process includes additional criteria regarding geographic restrictions, classification size, and limits on the number of players that may be selected per school.

Additional invitations to play in the 52nd Kansas Shrine Bowl presented by Mammoth may be extended to nominees who were not among the initial 88 selections. Roster replacements are selected by the Kansas Shrine Bowl coaching staff in a case where an invited player declines their invitation to play or must withdraw from participating for any reason.
