Congrats to Ethan Brinkmann for being one of only 150 players across the state selected to play in the upcoming Illinois Shrine Game!

The Illinois Shrine Game is an All-Star game that was started to showcase senior football players in Illinois 1A-8A while fundraising for the Shriners Children Hospitals in Chicago and St. Louis.

Ethan will play on the Red Team on Saturday, June 20th (Time TBD) at Illinois Wesleyan University. Local businesses can support Ethan by purchasing advertising space in the Illinois Shrine Game program or purchasing bulk tickets for the game.

Congrats Ethan!! We will all be rooting for you! ❤️🏈
