Washburn Rural senior Robby Bolin has been added to the East roster for the 2022 Kansas Shrine Bowl all-star football game, which will be played July 23 at Pittsburg State University.
The Kansas Shrine Bowl Board of Directors announced updated rosters on Wednesday, with Bolin among the additions.
“Every year we have some changes after our original selections are made,” said B.J. Harris, executive director of the Kansas Shrine Bowl. “Fortunately for us, Kansas is blessed
with a wealth of talented players and these guys are certainly ready to play in our game; this is going to be a great game.”
Bolin, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound wide receiver/defensive back, earned All-Centennial League first-team honors at receiver and was a second-team all-league pick at defensive back after helping lead the Junior Blues to an 8-2 record last fall.
Bolin caught 33 passes for 517 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 15.7 yards per catch.
In addition to Bolin, the East Squad has added Kaden Fields from Osawatomie (3A), Truman Juelsgaard from Lawrence (6A), Andrew Long from Blue Valley (6A), Eduardo Lopez from Wellsville (2A), Brooks Lowe from Blue Valley West (6A), Kenrick Osei-Bonsu from Olathe North (6A), and Isiah Tyson from Parsons (3A).
The 2022 West Squad has added Trey Harmison from Riley County.
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.
Children up to the age of 18 are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment, regardless of the patients' ability to pay.
