Two Boothbay Region High School senior athletes have been chosen to participate in the 36th annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic on July 18 at Lewiston High School.

Seahawk defensive lineman Griffin Yereance and cheerleader Maddie Andreasen are on the West squads.

Both Yereance and Andreasen were captains of this year’s school teams.

According to the event’s website, “The annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic is the premier high school athletic event in the State of Maine. Over 140 All-Star football players and cheerleaders from over 60 high school programs across Maine are nominated as high school seniors and selected by the Maine Football Coaches Association to participate in this prestigious event. Since 1990, athlete fundraising missions have provided Shriners Children’s with net proceed donations on behalf of the Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic of over $1,000,000.

“This year the organization has set a goal to donate $175,000 to Shriners Children’s and become the top football game fundraiser in the country.”

The full list of Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic rosters and coaches is available at MaineShrineLobsterBowl.com. The website also allows anyone to make a general donation or allocate their donation to a player and their fundraising goal. Each participant is required to raise at least $500 to participate in the game. Proceeds from the game benefit Shriners Children’s in Boston and Springfield.
