Lobster Bowl

It's that time of year again ... and more than 100 football players and coaches have congregated in Hebron for the week leading up to the 19th Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl.

The annual game showcases the top high school football graduates and raises money for the Shriners Hospitals and its burn centers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Among the notable names:

Jack Hersom - the quarterback graduated from Lawrence and will play football at Husson College

Justin Villacci - the running back graduated from Gorham and will play football at the University of Maine. He was a finalist for the Fitzpatrick Trophy, won by Hersom.

Darrus Grate - the running back helped Morse to its best season and also won state outdoor track titles in the 100, 200 and 1,600 relay.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Friday at Waterhouse Field in Biddeford.
