CONWAY — Recent Kennett High graduates Dominic Jones and Justin Olson had been looking forward to one more high school football game in their fine careers, but it won’t happen. The talented athletes had hoped to suit up for the Granite State in the 67th annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game against Vermont, but the game has officially been canceled for this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Shrine's Board of Governors overwhelmingly voted June 12 to “shelve this year's gridiron classic due to health and safety concerns over coronavirus and the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic in the coming weeks.”
