Athletes from the area are playing in the 45th annual Shrine Bowl today.

Pella’s Nick Finney, Pella Christian’s David Kacmarynski, Pleasantville’s Will Anthony, and PCM’s Luke Greiner are all listed on the “South” team roster. Eagles Head Coach Rich Kacmarynski is an assistant for the squad and Jake Crozier of Twin Cedars was invited, but the University of Northern Iowa recruit will not suit up for the game at his future home field.

David Kacmarynski tells KNIA/KRLS News the athletes involved have been working to raise money for Shriners’ Hospitals around the Midwest.

Pleasantville’s Dance Team has been selected as the all-star performers of the game as well. The 45th annual Iowa Shrine Bowl game is set to begin at 4 p.m. today at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, and will be broadcast live on MC22.
