All-Star Shrine weekend leaves lasting memories and questions
The first Shrine All-Star week end drew 100 plus high school players in a basketball upset 83 81 and a 17 17 football tie at Nile Kinnick. While fans praised the charity event, attendance fell short of the budget 12000 tickets sold 3000 for hoops 23000 announced for football yet likely closer to 10000. The weekend showcased spirit and fundraising for Shriners Hospitals though financial strain may affect future events.
