Sanford graduate of 2022 Pahtra Mar will be playing in the Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic on July 16 at the Don Roux Field in Lewiston. Mar was a standout outside linebacker and defensive end for the Spartans.

The annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic is “the premier high school athletic event in the State of Maine”, according to their website. The Maine Football Coaches Association selects All Stars from more than 140 nominated football players and more than 60 cheerleaders to participate in this prestigious event.

The Lobster Bowl also requires each participant to fundraise a minimum of $500 for Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals. Mar’s fundraising donation link can be found here.
