ALL STAR FOOTBALL CLASSIC
July 21 - Game: 7 PM Jack Trice Stadium in Ames
Gates open 5:00 PM.

Turkey Valley's Jordan Schmitt who played quarterback and
defensive back for Turkey Valley was among three area
players selected for the prestigious Iowa Shrine Bowl.

The Iowa Shrine Bowl Game is an all-star football game
between selected pre-college football athletes on each
side of a north-south dividing line in Iowa.

The players are selected by a process of nomination by
coaches, balloting by state-wide sports media
professionals, and official invitation from a representative
of the Iowa Shrine Bowl.

Schmitt was a 1st team All-district performer for the Trojans
two years in a row and was and 2nd team All-State selection
for the Des Monies Register this year. Jordan will be
representing one of the 48 players out of the north, playing
DB for the North squad. Jordan is a standout four sport
athlete: participating in Football, Basketball, Track, and
Baseball. He was an All-state performer in basketball as
well. His cumulative gpa is a 3.421. Jordan is the son of
Dennis and Glenda Schmitt of St. Lucas.  

Schmitt is only the eight player chosen from Turkey Valley to
play in the Shrine Bowl and only the second in the last 20
years.  Kyle Costigan was the last Trojan selected back in
2002.  (complete list of Trojans to the right)

The Iowa Shrine Bowl produces this game each year. The
game brings honor and recognition to the players, their
schools and their communities. It has also been an
effective tool in raising money for Shriners Hospital For
Children.

The 2012 game will be the 40th Anniversary of the Iowa
Shrine Bowl.   Complete roster and details from the
Shrine
Bowl Website

To date, the Iowa Shrine Bowl has raised over $2,000,000
for the Shriner's Hospitals for Children.  Funds for Shriners
Hospital For Children are developed by ticket sales,
advertising in the Shrine Bowl program, merchandise
sales, contributions and sponsorships.

Sumner-Fredericksburg won both the boys and girls
competition in golf @ Fredericksburg on Monday.
