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.

Press Room

Funeral Service for LaVon Getz, 82, of Dickinson, will be 10:00 am, Saturday, December 28, 2024 at Stevenson Funeral Home with Pastor Lisa Lewton and Pastor Mary Wiggins officiating. Burial will take place at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan.

Visitation will take place 1:00 – 6:00 pm, Friday, December 27, 2024 with family receiving friends from 4:00 – 6:00 pm at Stevenson Funeral Home.

LaVon A. Getz passed away peacefully in Dickinson, North Dakota, surrounded by the love of her family, in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, from complications of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.

LaVon A. Jensen (Getz) was born January 11, 1942, in Bowman County, North Dakota, the daughter of Alvin and Leola (Sipma) Jensen. She grew up and attended school in Scranton, graduating from high school in 1960.

LaVon married Lewis Getz on December 27, 1961. To this union two children were born, Michael of Dickinson, and Michelle (Kovash) also of Dickinson.

LaVon worked as a secretary at the Scranton Public Schools. After she and her husband returned from Lawton, Oklahoma, where Lewis was stationed in the U.S. Army, she worked for the First National Bank in Scranton and Bowman for many years. She worked for Peterson Law Firm while living in Beach, and later for Dakota Western Bank with the Dakota 50 Club in Bowman. She was employed with Satrom Travel and Tours in Bismarck as Tour Manager and escorted group’s travel which she loved doing until she retired. She was a “people person” and enjoyed life. She and Lewis had the opportunity to do a lot of traveling during this time, which they thoroughly enjoyed. She enjoyed being busy helping family and friends. She thoroughly enjoyed her family, family reunions, and any get together with friends. Her home was always open and made welcome to all who stopped by for coffee, to visit, or overnight. She treasured her many friendships that she had made during the years. She always felt that if you were able to call on family and friends at any time or during a crisis that you were the “richest person in the world” and she truly felt she was very blessed.

LaVon was baptized and confirmed at Peace Lutheran Church in Scranton and is now a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Dickinson. She was a member and officer of the American Legion Auxiliary Units in Scranton, Beach, Cando, and Dickinson. She was also a member of PEO, CHI St. Alexius Health Dickinson Medical Center Auxiliary, and volunteered at House of Manna, as well as being active in many other organizations during the years.

LaVon’s family would like to thank the Alpha-1 Foundation for their support and kindness as she battled this rare disease over the years.

LaVon is survived by her husband, Lewis; son, Michael and Ellen (Baird) Getz; daughter, Michelle and Keith Kovash; grandchildren, Christopher, Kelsey (Barth), Macklynn, and Addilynn Kovash of Dickinson; sister, Patricia and Ron Moe of Grand Forks; sisters-in-law, Kay Jensen Luken of Council Bluffs, Iowa, JoAnn Getz of Penguilly, Minnesota, and Patsy Getz of Bowman.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Leola Nibbe; step-father, Marvin Nibbe; father, Alvin Jensen; grandson, Matthew Allen Kovash; brother, Andrew C. Jensen; brothers-in-law, James Haag, Dwaine (Sonny) Getz, and Leary Getz; sisters-in-law, Darleen and Gerald McLaughlin and Margie and Robert Silbernagel.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong have ordered all U.S. and state flags to fly at half-staff at all state buildings to honor former President Jimmy Carter.

Carter died on Sunday at the age of 100.

“President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader. He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world,” Walz said.

Armstrong said Carter’s service extended well beyond the White House.

“He became known for his post-presidency work on human rights and international diplomacy, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002,” Armstrong said.

Flags will be lowered from sunrise Monday until sunset Jan. 29.
