Horak And Coach To Shrine Bowl

Six Shawnee County athletes, including four Topeka players, have been selected to the East Squad for the 2016 Kansas Shrine Bowl, which will be played July 30 in Emporia.

Two-time All-State selection Tucker Horak of Rossville headlines the local selections after his record-setting season in leading the Bulldawgs to their second straight undefeated Class 3A state title. He will be joined on the East by his coach, Derick Hammes, who will serve as one of the assistant coaches under head coach Blake Pierce, who recently resigned as Seaman’s coach.

The only other Mid-East League player is Cole Baird of Silver Lake.
