McPherson head football coach Jace Pavlovich was named the head coach of the West team at the 51st Kansas Shrine Bowl Game, which will be played at Welch Stadium on the campus of Emporia State University on June 29.

Pavlovich’s assistant coaches will be Dominick Dingle from Wichita Heights, Darrin Fisher from Eisenhower, Jeremiah Meeks from Wellington and Mitch Gebhardt from Southeast of Saline.

Pavlovich has previously been on staff for the Shrine Bowl, but his assistants are all coaching in the Shrine Bowl for the first time.

“We’re excited to have this group of coaches on board for the 2024 Kansas Shrine Bowl,” said Brice Kesler of the Kansas Shrine Bowl. “They give up valuable family time and time with their own programs to be a part of this great tradition. This is a group of men and leaders who truly understand our cause and the purpose of this event. We’re thrilled to have their knowledge and leadership for our respective teams this year.”
