Two Humboldt graduates and future college football stars will be on display at the 2020 Kansas Shrine Bowl next Saturday. Conor Haviland and Josh Hull will suit up on the same team one last time before they become MIAA conference rivals.
The game kicks off at 7 p.m., July 18 at the Hummer Sports Complex in Topeka. Due to COVID-19, no advance tickets are available. The game will be broadcast on COX Cable channel 22 or on YouTube.

Haviland and Hull helped carry the Cubs to a 2A state semifinal appearance in 2018, and reached the state quarterfinals last season after a 10-0 start.
Hull played on both the offensive and defensive line in 2019. Last year he finished with 10 tackles for loss, 48 total tackles, three sacks, and a lineman’s dream — a rushing touchdown. Hull will be attending Emporia State this fall.
In his only season under center, Haviland combined for 2,909 total yards, with 2,436 of those yards coming on the ground. He averaged 17.2 yards per carry to go with 47 total touchdowns, and even snagged four interceptions on the defensive end. Haviland will attend Pittsburg State this fall.
