HHS's Stokes named to Shrine Game

Once again, the Havre High football program will have a Blue Pony helmet flying around the field in Montana’s best high school football all-star game.

Blue Pony senior linebacker Jase Stokes has been named to the East roster for the 2017 Montana East-West Shrine Game, which will be held in July in Billings. Stokes, who is a Montana Tech commit at running back, was named First-Team Class A All-State at linebacker this past season, while also leading the Ponies in rushing, as well as playing quarterback for HHS’ last two games after an injury to starting QB Trey Murphy. Stokes also earned Central A All-Conference honors at three different positions in his senior year.

Stokes was the only Hi-Line player named to the East roster, but two more local players were picked as alternates. Chinook two-way standout Tate Niederegger was picked as an alternate at linebacker, while Harlem defensive lineman Reece Hutton was also selected as an alternate.

The 71st Shrine Game will be played July 15 at Rocky Mountain College’s Herb Klindt Field. Billings Senior head coach Chris Murdock will coach the East, while Helena High’s Troy Arnston will lead the West.
