Kansas Shrine Bowl set for July 25

The 49th Kansas Shrine Bowl is scheduled July 23, 2022 at Carnie Smith Stadium at Pittsburg State University.

The head coaches are Basehor-Linwood’s Rod Stallbaumer and Wichita Collegiate’s Troy Black.

“This is an incredibly impressive group of young men,” said B.J. Harris, Kansas Sharine Bowl director.  “These players and coaches now have a wonderful opportunity ahead of them, one that is sure to have a lasting impact on their life.” 

West coach Troy Black said, “We feel we have an athletic, tough, and physical football team. The young men understand the purpose of this game and what they are really playing for.” 

East coach Rod Stallbaumer said, “These young men will be ambassadors of their schools, communities and programs. We have playmakers on offense and aggressive and athletic guys on defense.”

The West leads the series 30-17-1. Current NFL alumni include Cody Whitehair (Chicago Bears), B.J. Finney (Pittsburg Steelers), Wyatt Hubert (Cincinnati Bengals), and Deante Burton (Dallas Cowboys). 

Notable alumni include All-Pro Wide Receiver Jordy Nelson, All-Pro NFL Defensive Back Terrance Newman, NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, Kansas State and Kansas City Chiefs Linebacker Gary Spani, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl Champion Linebacker Mark Simoneau and Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer Paul Coffman.

All Shrine Bowl events are produced and presented to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children, now known as Shriners Children’s. Shriners Children’s offers care for a range of orthopedic issues, as well as care for burn injuries, craniofacial conditions, spine care and spinal cord injuries, colorectal and gastrointestinal care, and sports medicine.
