Three players and one alternate were chosen for the West team from the Bitterroot Valley. Corvallis’s Drew Lewis was chosen for defensive end. Florence’s Drew Wagner was chosen for safety.
Florence’s Mason Arlington was also chosen for safety. And Florence’s Rollie Fisher was chosen as an alternate.
The 2025 game will be played on Saturday, June 21, at 7 p.m. at Memorial Stadium in Great Falls. The West team will be coached by Helena Capital’s Kyle Mihelish and the East team will be coached by Malta’s Nick Oxarart.
The Montana Shrine Game is one of the oldest high school all-star football games in America. Since 1947, Montana’s finest high school players are selected to compete in a game to raise money and to help make the public aware of the expert orthopedic and burn care available at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Spokane. Care is provided regardless of the family’s ability to pay. The Montana game is the top Shrine Game in the nation for hospital donations.
