Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl selections

    Three players from the region have been selected to play in the 25th annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic, featuring the best senior football stars from Eastern Maine in Classes A, B, C and D taking on their counterparts from the West, to be played on Saturday, July 19 at 6 p.m. at Waterhouse Field at Biddeford High School.

Bjornson

    Chosen for the game are Foxcroft Academy’s Corey Bjornson and Hunter Law and Trevor Fogarty of Dexter Regional High School. The players will take part in a week-long training camp at Hebron Academy in Oxford County before the July 19 game.
    The Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic, played each summer at the end of July is entering its 25th year for the Kora Shriners. To date players, coaches and cheerleaders participating in the game have helped raise over $350,000 in support of the Shriners Hospitals.
    All benefits raised from the Lobster Bowl go toward supporting the 22 Shrine Hospitals for Children across the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The Lobster Bowl raises money and helps to make the public aware of the expert orthopedic and burn care facilities available, at no cost, to children who desperately need this specialized care.

Fogarty

    The Lobster Bowl participants are high school seniors who have just graduated and are about to enter college. They are nominated to play in the prestigious game by their coaches and selected by a committee from the Maine Athletics Association.
