Shrine Bowl Rosters
As I have previously stated, I started working at the Journal in 1992. And like many of us, I am prone to a foggy memory on some things.
But this is the first time I remember a North Carolina Shrine Bowl roster that didn’t have at least two or three football players from our main coverage area. I have wondered if the football in our area was slanted toward mediocrity this season, and this roster kind of backs that thought.
The only player on the roster who is even remotely from our coverage area is Quantre’z Stevenson, a defensive back from High Point Andrews.
No players from Forsyth County. It’s been a while since that has happened.
