Rosters for Mecklenburg County high school football all-star game announced

Rosters are set for the inaugural Queen City Senior Bowl.

The game, featuring senior high school football players in Mecklenburg County, will be played 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 21. It’s the same day as the annual Shrine Bowl all-star game in Spartanburg, S.C., but the site for the Queen City game will be announced later.

After expenses, all proceeds will go to Charlotte’s Metro School, which works with cognitively disabled students who have autism, visual and hearing impairments.

The Shrine Bowl, which was was held in Charlotte from 1937-2000, has raised more than $75 million for Shriner’s Hospitals since its inception.

This year, 11 Mecklenburg County players made the Shrine Bowl, up from seven in 2018 and four in 2017.

The Queen City game is exclusively for seniors from Mecklenburg County’s public and private schools who didn’t get picked for the Shrine Bowl or other postseason all-star games. There will be two 40-man rosters, coached by Butler High’s Brian Hales (East) and Providence Day’s Adam Hastings (West).
