Connor Adams
Representing Inter-Lakes High School Positions: O - Tight End D - Defensive End When I got the call from Coach White that I was selected for the 71st annual Shrine Bowl I was more than ecstatic. I was excited, happy and honored to be chosen. One of my main goals from the beginning of last football season was to be selected for this game and have an opportunity to represent New Hampshire. It's also so rewarding to be able to continue to play football and to have the opportunity to compete in this prestigious game, as well as continuing to give back to the community and meet new people. Future Plans: I will be attending Franklin University next year and will be studying Sports Management. I have also been recruited to play football for them. |
Logan Ash
Representing Newport High School Positions: O - Offensive Line D - Defensive Line When I learned I would be playing in the 71st Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game I was ecstatic. The first person I called that night to share the news with was my dad. Growing up knowing that my dad had played in the Shrine game after his high school football career I knew I wanted to live up to his legacy and do the same. I wore his number, 58, from 4th grade all the way through to my senior year knowing I wanted to make him proud. Having the opportunity to have my own Shrine jersey next to his means a lot to me. Future Plans: After high school I plan to go into the workforce starting in June at JCB Designscapes. |
Elia Bahuma
Representing Concord High School Positions: O - Running Back D - Defensive Back As a senior whose high school season ended early due to an injury, I wouldn't have thought that I would get the opportunity to play in a high school game ever again. But that all changed when I got that call from Coach White on a random afternoon about the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. I was filled with an extreme amount of joy that I was given a chance to prove myself once more of my abilities on the field. Future Plans: I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Curry College, playing football and studying Criminal Justice to go into the law enforcement field, if not the pros. |
Keaton Beck
Representing Laconia High School Positions: O - Tight End D - Defensive End When receiving the invitation to play in the New Hampshire vs Vermont Shrine Game I was excited. My older brother 3 years prior had played in the Shrine game. He said it was one of the best experiences of his life and I should do it. Even though my brother had played in the game, I still did not know what the cause was for. I learned this year that the cause was for the Shrine Hospitals, and this is a charity game. Future Plans: I plan on attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to do a dual major in IT and Computer Science to work for cyber security. |
Nolan Beck
Representing Merrimack Valley High School Positions: O - Offensive Line D - Defensive Line When I received the news that I had been selected to participate in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl I was in shock and truly honored to be selected for such a prestigious event that few players get to experience. I was beyond grateful to play football for a great cause, which is the Shriners organization. I can't wait to spend the week with new teammates, learning as much as I can from Coach White, the staff, and the Shriners. This will be an experience I'll never forget and I appreciate the opportunity that has been given to me. Future Plans: After I graduate from Merrimack Valley High School, I plan to go to NHTI and get my Associate's degree in Health and Wellness. |
Harrison 'Harry' Caracciolo
Representing Exeter High School Positions: O - Offensive Guard D - Inside Linebacker I found out I was selected for the Shrine on December 24th, so to me, it felt like Christmas came early. I’d heard about the Shrine game for many years, but never really knew what it was. After being selected, I started to do some research and discovered what the game represented, and it didn't take long before I realized that it was a lot more than a football game. It made me very proud to be among the other young men picked for this great tradition of fundraising for and representing the Shriner Children's Hospital. I would like to thank the Coaches for selecting me. I will do my best to represent myself, my team, my school, and my family in this amazing opportunity. Future Plans: I will be attending Brewster Academy this fall to do a post grad year and play Lacrosse. |
Ben Cardoso
Representing Sanborn High School Positions: O - Wide Receiver/Running Back D - Defensive Back When I learned that I would be competing in the 71st Shrine Bowl game I was beyond excited as well as honored to be representing New Hampshire for such a great cause. Going into my senior year one of my goals I set for myself was to be selected as a Shrine Bowl player. I worked very hard during the offseason to make this happen and look forward to representing NH. Future Plans: After I graduate high school, I plan on attending the University of New England, where I will be playing football and pursuing a degree in Physical Therapy. |
Connor Cassidy
Representing Souhegan High School Positions: O - Wide Receiver D - Defensive Back/Ret When I got the call from Coach White informing me that I would be playing in the Shrine Bowl this summer, I was instantly flooded with pride and joy. I knew that my hard work over the past four years had paid off. I was very excited that I would be able to share this once in a lifetime experience with my friends and family. Immediately, my mind went to the thought of all of the great connections I will be making with my teammates and coaches. I was honored and ecstatic to have the ability to not only represent the state of New Hampshire but my family and school district as well. I was extremely grateful to be selected by coaches across the state. Future Plans: Although I am undecided on which college I will be attending next year, I have plans on studying business at whichever school fits me best. I am looking more in the Carolinas region of the east coast as the environment has always greatly interested me. |
Tyler 'Tank' Christian
Representing Stevens High School Positions: O - Running Back/Tight End D - Middle Linebacker Since I was a Freshman I have heard about the Shrine Bowl. How sought after it was to make this event. It is a goal I had set for myself from day 1 playing high school football. When I missed my whole sophomore season with a torn ACL/MCL, I was not sure I was going to play football again. After a long year of rehab, I was able to step on the field and play the sport I love once again. When I received the call being invited, all that emotion rushed back to me. A reward for the hard work I did on and off the field. To achieve that goal after the injury was even sweeter. I cannot think of a better way to end my high school career. I’m truly honored and excited to be a part of this long tradition. Future Plans: I will be attending New England College studying Sports Management. |
Tyler Dekutoski
Representing Plymouth High School Positions: O - Offensive Line D - Defensive Line When I received the phone call from Coach White to play in the 71st Shrine Bowl Game, the first thing I felt was that my hard work and dedication to the sport had paid off. Football has been part of my life for the last 4 years. Having never played the sport before my freshman year, I set goals for myself within the sport, and one of those goals was to make and play in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. I am grateful to play in this NH/VT football game representing NH with my teammates and prior competition. Future Plans: My plans after I graduate are to further my education at Lakes Region Community College where I will be studying Marine Tech to someday become a Marine Technician. |
Joe Fitzgerald
Representing Pembroke High School Positions: O - Quarterback D - Cornerback Future Plans: |
Hutch Haskins
Representing Gilford-Belmont High School Positions: D - Linebacker When my football season ended it devastated me. Ever since second grade I've played football, and I thought I would never get to play the game again. When I got the call that I was picked to play in this year's Shriner game my spark was brought back. Even though it’s only a week it still brings me great excitement to know I get another practice and another game with a team. So, I am very grateful for this opportunity to play one last game of football. A game I will never forget. Future Plans: I am currently taking a plumbing and heating course at the Huot Technical Center, and will soon be involved in a plumbing apprenticeship to further my education in plumbing. I plan to get my associate’s degree in business, and I am interested in getting my real estate license, as well as continuing my career path with plumbing, and one day hopefully owning my own business in plumbing. |
Austin Ingersoll
Representing Sanborn High School Positions: O - Running Back D - Defensive Back When I found out that I was selected for the Shrine Bowl I was more than blessed to represent New Hampshire. I got to watch old teammates play in the bowl game and I decided to make it my goal for my senior season. It means a lot to help raise money for the kids in the Shriners Children's Hospital. I want to thank everyone that voted for me this year and I am looking forward to playing in this year's Shrine Bowl! Future Plans: After high school I will be playing football for the University of New England as a business major. |
Gabe Kean
Representing Plymouth High School Positions: O - Running Back D - Kick Return When I first found out that I was selected, I was so happy to know that I was going to play one more game. I was unsatisfied with the injury at the end of the season. I want to prove why I should have been selected 1st team All State. Future Plans: I am continuing my academic and athletic careers at Plymouth State University. |
Bobby Kinsella
Representing Trinity High School Positions: D - Cornerback When our high school team won the state championship, I did not think my high school football career could have ended on a happier note. When Coach White called me to ask if I would like to be part of the 2024 Shriner’s Bowl, my immediate answer was “absolutely,” and I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to give it "one more go" before starting my college football career. However, I did not realize what a special honor it was for me to be selected to participate in the game until I learned more about why the game is played and how it provides assistance to families in need of hope, compassion and financial assistance. I know the week of practice before the game, as well as the game itself, will provide memories that the players and coaches on both sidelines will never forget! Future Plans: I will be attending Castleton University for Football (Defensive Back), and studying Business Communications. |
Tyer-Jay (TJ) Mardin
Representing Mascoma High School Positions: D - Linebacker When I was a freshman, I went to the Shrine Bowl Game in Castleton, VT. My childhood best friend's brother was playing in it! I was so excited to see a guy who I played with go and do something so great for the community! Ever since that point, I've wanted to make a bigger impact. When I received the call from Coach White asking me if I wanted to play, I was ecstatic! It is a chance to play one more high school football game, and a chance to do something big for the community. Future Plans: After high school and the Shrine Game, I plan on attending Plymouth State, studying Sports Science. I would like to use this to become an athletic trainer, or a coach at the high school and college levels. I also hope to play football for Plymouth! |

Representing St. Thomas Aquinas High School Positions: O - Center D - Defensive Tackle I was honored to learn I had been selected to play in the 71st Shrine Bowl Game. I believe that football is the greatest game on the planet, so any opportunity to play the game I love is a blessing. But most importantly, this game is about the children. It's a true honor to have the opportunity to participate in such a great cause. I look forward to representing the state of New Hampshire and St. Thomas Aquinas High School! Future Plans: I will be attending Massachusetts Maritime Academy to play football and major in marine transportation. |

To say that I am honored to be chosen for this is an understatement. I am extremely grateful to be presented with this opportunity to represent New Hampshire and it is something that I will never forget.

Joseph Neal
Representing Bishop Geurtin High School Positions: O - Offensive Line D - Defensive Line When I got the call and found out I was nominated for the Shrine, I was highly grateful that I was given one more chance to play football, especially for such a good cause. A former coach of mine gave me the call, and to hear his voice and be remembered and nominated was incredible. I knew about the Shrine game through friends and to not only get the chance to play another game but also fundraise and support an excellent cause is a blessing. I want to thank my high school, coaches, and family, and I will do my best to represent New Hampshire. Future Plans: I will be attending Elon University in North Carolina and studying Finance. |

Representing Windham High School Positions: O - Running Back/Slot D - Defensive Back/Kick-Punt Return I was excited to hear I was chosen for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. When I found out I was nominated, I was out to eat with my family and there was no service in the restaurant. I briefly went outside to use my phone and got a random call from a phone number I didn't recognize. For whatever reason, I decided to answer the phone and then was told that I was selected for the Shrine game! This had me shocked because I wasn't expecting to be informed this way.

Steven Supry, Jr.
Representing Franklin High School Positions: O - Tight End D - Defensive End/Linebacker I am very thankful and excited to be picked for the Shrine Bowl. I couldn't believe it when I found out that I was being picked. In the beginning of football during my senior year, Coach Roy was working with the line man and he explained the Shrine Bowl and what it takes to get there. Honestly, I never thought I would have a chance. The only thing I wanted was for that season to be my best season of high school, whether I made it to the Shrine Bowl or not. My last 4 games were my favorite I have ever played. It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to go, but I put my all in - not just for myself but for all my guys. I wanted to prove to them that it doesn't matter where you came from or who you are, you can get what you want when you keep getting up no matter what happens, and keeping the pride you have strong. Win or lose, you learn something and get a little better. But most importantly, giving 100% no matter the physical or mental pain you have. All emotions aside, but I'm excited to be trained and put to work for something that has real meaning. Future Plans: For my future I am joining the workforce in dirt work and logging - I feel as though I want to do that for the rest of my life. I am going to get my CDL so that I can drive a truck. I enjoy pushing my body and working hard. |
Michael Thistle
Representing Londonderry High School Positions: O - Offensive Line D - Defensive Line When I first learned that I would have the opportunity to be playing in the 71st annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game, I felt completely honored knowing what this game is truly about the children in the Shrine Hospitals. I am grateful to have this opportunity to help bring awareness to the children and know that I played a role in helping to benefit the Shrine hospitals. As I am out there giving it my all, the true meaning “Strong legs run so weak legs may walk” will be in my heart. Future Plans: My future plans once I have graduated from high school is to continue my education in college. Although I am currently undecided on where I will be going, I know I would like to study criminal justice. I am looking forward to the future and having the opportunity to continue playing football no matter where I end up. |

Cameron Worster
Representing Portsmouth High School Positions: O - Guard D - Inside Linebacker I was driving to the gym when I received a phone call out of the blue from a random phone number. I answered the call and shortly after heard that I was selected for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game. This news was a great honor knowing that I would be representing the state of New Hampshire in the Shrine Bowl Game. This made me feel as though all the hot summer practices, all the conditioning at practice, all the off season work was worth it and this was my reward. I can't wait to play in this game to meet some football players from different teams and divisions, get coached up, and most importantly compete! Future Plans: Next year I will be heading to Husson University to play Football and do their Doctor of Physical Therapy Program to become a physical therapist. |

I am honored to have been nominated and cannot wait to play in the 71st annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game!
