Mason Romfo, Cole Welsh and Rayce Worley will all play in 50th Anniversary of legendary game June 22 in Mayville
The 2024 North Dakota Shrine Bowl will be held on June 22 at Mayville State University. Three players from Langdon-Edmore-Munich have been honored by being named to the 11man East team. Mason Romfo, Cole Welsh and Rayce Worley will all play in the game, which will kick off at 7:00pm that day with the 9-man game the same day at 4:00pm. They will not only play their last-ever high school football game but will also learn about the great and important work that is done at Shriners Children's Hospitals. In the press release, it says that over 350 children are currently active patients from North Dakota and western Minnesota.
This year, the games are even more special, as this is the Shrine Bowl's 50th anniversary.
The head coach of the Cardinals program, Josh Krivarchka, was asked to comment on these three players making the Shrine Bowl and to have three players on the team, which is rare: 'Mason, Cole, and Rayce are not only multi-sport athletes, which make them special, but have also put in countless time in the offseason improving their strength, skills, and agility. It says a lot about how good of football players these 3 guys are to all make it on the Shrine team from a smaller school. All three are very deserving, and I’m happy they will get to have an experience they will never forget.'
Hudson Hodous from Devils Lake, who has ties to the Edmore area, is also on the 11-man team. Area players on the 9-man East team are Parker Simon from North Star; Blake Mattson, Carter Casavant and Havin DeLong from North Prairie; and Jaxon Baumgarn, Zach Gibson and Ross Thompson from Nelson County.
Congrats to all on making the Shrine Bowl All-Star football teams!
