2024 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl showcases Vermont and New Hampshire’s best football players in a classic showdown

New Hampshire head coach Josh White from Sanborn High School will lead the New Hampshire team  against the  2024 Vermont  head coach  Matt Trombly from Hartford High School.

This summer classic brings together some of the finest high school football players from New Hampshire and Vermont, where the real winners are the kids in the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Announcing the New Hampshire and Vermont head coaches, General Chairman Kristi Morris said, “We welcome Coach Josh and Coach Matt to our Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl family for 2024.”

Approximately 200 players from New Hampshire and Vermont were nominated. The screening committees, chaired by the head coaches, selected the two 40-player teams in January.

The Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl continues to actively focus on fundraising for the world’s greatest philanthropy, that of supporting children in need at Shrine hospitals.  The game contributes to three hospitals in the area: Shriners orthopedic hospitals in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Montreal Quebec in Canada, and the Burns Hospital in Boston.

The Shrine Game has raised millions of dollars over the past 70 years for the support of Shriner hospitals and is sponsored by the Cairo Shriner Center in Rutland and the Mt. Sinai Shriner Center in Montpelier.

The 2024 game will again be played at Vermont State University, Castleton Campus, on Saturday, Aug. 3, with kickoff scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
