Plainville’s Hogan selected to play in Kansas Shrine Bowl

The roster of invitations for the 51st Kansas Shrine Bowl presented by Mammoth was announced during the annual Kansas Shrine Bowl Selection Show on Monday, January 1st, and Plainville High School’s Mason Hogan was among those receiving an invitation.

Hogan, a 6’5, 275-lb. offensive lineman, was selected from a list of 457 nominees garnered from a combination of statewide media votes and Shrine Bowl coaching staff selections.

In addition to playing in the annual East vs. West all-star football game, Kansas Shrine Bowl participants get the opportunity to meet and interact with the Patient Ambassadors from Shriners Children’s during the Hospital Experience Day. An event, that for many, is more impactful than any other event during the week of the Kansas Shrine Bowl.

During the Hospital Experience Day, players come to understand that these children have put in the same kind of hard work, dedication and sacrifices they have; only their work has resulted in allowing them to walk, run, play, and live a full life.

The 51st Kansas Shrine Bowl game will be played on Saturday, June 29th, 2024 at Welch Stadium in Emporia.
