Congratulations Maddox and Braden on representing the Scranton and Hettinger community! It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to play in the Shrine bowl. The Shrine bowl represents the beliefs and values that we want to instill in our students. Maddox and Braden were selected because they embodied the character and values we want in our student athletes. It was a great weekend for both boys, as Maddox was named Captain and awarded the Spirit Award for having the "It" factor and Braden found the end zone with a rushing touchdown. We are proud of you for representing our communities, not only this past weekend but for the past 4 years! "We stand for those that can't"
