(BLOOMINGTON) The Illinois Coaches Association and the Shriners of Illinois are proud to present the 52nd Annual Illinois High School Football Shrine Game this Saturday (6/20/26) at Tucci Stadium on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington. Admission is $12 per person and tickets will be available at the gate, with game time at 11:00 and pregame festivities starting at 10:00. The prestigious all-star event will feature 97 of Illinois’ top high school football players who have been meeting, practicing, and spending time together this week since Tuesday. The rosters include three players from the Little Illini Conference, including Dexter Fulton from Newton, Stephen Killion from Lawrenceville, and Carter Crippes from Paris, plus three other area players, Jayden Wilson from Fairfield, Andrew Shelby from Flora, and Bryden Hall from Centralia. All proceeds from the event go directly to benefit patient care programs at Shriners Children’s Hospitals in St. Louis and Chicago. Last year, nearly $16,000 was raised to help those in need.
