The 34 players who will be playing for the West squad in the 39th annual Kansas Shrine Bowl are reporting to camp Friday morning in Salina. The team members will stay at St. John’s Military School where they will prepare for the all-star game to be played July 28 in Emporia.

Among the area players taking part are Zach Binder of Hays, Jared Herl of Ellis, Andrew Casey from Plainville, Smith Center’s Truitt Kuhlmann and Joel Struckhoff of Thunder Ridge.

Garden City’s Brian Hill is the head coach for the West. Hays High’s Ryan Cornelsen and Jon Webster from LaCrosse are two of his assistants.

The West has won the last six contests including last year’s 30-7 victory in Hays.

This year’s game can be heard on KKQY (101.9-FM).
