Ferda alternate for Shrine Game

Tyson Ferda, of Whitefish, was chosen as an alternate offensive tackle for the West football team at the 64th annual East-West Shrine Game, which will be played next year in Butte on July 17. The Montana Shrine Game is the premier all-star game in Montana, and has a long history of distinguished players and coaches. It is one of the oldest high school all-star football games in the U.S. Since 1947, the Montana Shrine Game has raised more than $1million and made the public aware of free orthopedic and burn-care available at the Shriner's Hospital for Children in Spokane, Wash.
