Connor Adams
Representing Moultonborough Academy 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 Pierce 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. |

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. |

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.

I am looking more in the Carolinas region of the east coast as the environment has always greatly interested me. |

Gavin Clark
Representing Gilford High School Positions: D - Linebacker Playing in the Shrine Bowl is an accomplishment I have been wanting to achieve since I was a freshman. Learning that I was playing in this game was a blessing and an honor; learning that I would be playing with a talented group of guys and putting the pads on one last time with guys I have competed against and heard about from around NH is a blessing. Not only playing with these guys, but helping to raise money for the Shrine Hospital to help people who are in need is truly an honor. Future Plans: Next year I will be playing Baseball at Thomas College and studying Business 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. |

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. |

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.

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! |

Ezekiel McCoy
Representing Franklin High School Positions: O - Quarterback D - LS Being selected to play in the Shrine game was pretty nice. I didn't think too much of it until I learned the details of what the Shrine game is. I didn't realize the opportunity I was presented with until my head coach filled me in on what it is about and who I'm playing with. I felt excited to play with others who know the game well and play the game with heart and passion. I remember being in elementary and middle school and seeing some players who played for the varsity team playing in an East v West game. Being a senior in high school close to graduation and being selected to play in a game like East v West feels really good. I'm very thankful, excited and grateful to be presented with the opportunity to play in this big game. Future Plans: I will be going to NHTI College, majoring in Business and Marketing. I want to get in Sales for a career. I will decide if I want to transfer to another college after 2 years. I would like to sell health insurance.
