Lance Thorell is playing in the Shrine Bowl game on July 28th at Memorial Stadium. The Loomis graduate will play either receiver or defensive back. He will walk on at Nebraska this fall. Thorell was recently named the offensive player of the game for the East in the eight-man all-star game in Hastings. The last Loomis player to be named to the Shrine Bowl was Darren Maaske in 1981. Previous Loomis players that participated were John McClymont in 1969 and Dennis Thorell in 1961.
And no, Orleans High School never had a participant in the Shrine Bowl. Alma had Dave McCue (1978), Doug Long (1975), Paul Smolik (1974), John Peterson (1970), Jim Woods (1961), Robert Peterson (1960), and Charles Portenier (1959).
Twenty eight Holdrege High School graduates have played in the Shrine Bowl game.
How will the Nebraska Cornhusker's basketball team fare in the 2007/8 season. See how Fran Fraschilla sees the season.
