Rosters announced for 50th annual North Dakota Shrine Bowl

FARGO — Rosters for the 50th annual North Dakota Shrine Bowl were announced Wednesday.

More than 120 senior players from North Dakota and western Minnesota were invited to play in this year’s all-star football games, set for Saturday, June 22 at Jerome Berg Field on the campus of Mayville State University.

Festivities kick off with the 9-man game at 4 p.m. followed by the 11-man game at 7 p.m.

Players will report to practice at Mayville State on Tuesday, June 18, and will participate in an array of activities leading up to game day.

The weeklong event is hosted by the El Zagal Shriners and Kem Shriners. First contested in 1974, the North Dakota Shrine Bowl was created with the goal of honoring high school football athletes who excel both on and off the field and display high character, to raise awareness and funds for the Shriners Children’s nonprofit, and to inform the public about the organization, according to its website.

Teams are split into East and West. This year’s 9-man East roster consists of 26 players while the 9-man West roster featurs 25. Both 11-man squads feature 38 players per side.

Although primarily a North Dakota event, rosters feature a handful of Minnesota players as well. Shrine Bowl began inviting student-athletes from western Minnesota to play in the games in 2006 as both the El Zagal Shriners and Kem Shriners’ membership spans east of the Red River and also allows those players exposure they may not otherwise get on the western side of the state.

The East topped the West 21-0 in the 11-man game during the 2023 Shrine Bowl while last year’s 9-man contest was called off during the first quarter due to a severe weather threat with the East leading 8-0.

At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources.

Senators Cramer and Hoeven share Thanksgiving message

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) issued the following statement Thursday to wish all North Dakotans a happy Thanksgiving.

“Happy Thanksgiving to the people of North Dakota and families across our nation. Today we give thanks for the liberties we enjoy, the opportunities our country provides, and the hardworking spirit that defines our state. May this day bring you together with loved ones and renew a sense of gratitude and peace. From Mikey, me, and our family, we wish you a blessed and happy Thanksgiving,” said Hoeven.

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) also released the following Thanksgiving Day video message.

“Saint Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, reminds us ‘in all things, be thankful.’ The Pilgrims embodied this spirit, even in the hardest of times. Today gives us a chance to recommit ourselves to the spirit of gratitude that’s with us always. My family wishes you and yours a great, festive, and celebratory Thanksgiving,” said Cramer on social media.
