CASPER, Wyo. (Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune) — Wyoming's 2020 Shrine Bowl all-star high school football game has been canceled due to the coronavirus.

Executive director Frank Selby said he couldn't ask for local businesses to support while they're reeling from closures due to the coronavirus. He says it's also unclear whether it would be safe to hold the game.

This year's game, the 47th in the annual series, was scheduled for June 13 in Casper. The rosters were announced in January.

Money for sponsorships and program ads from businesses along with game and banquet ticket sales will will be refunded within 30 days.
