Ikaika Alama-Francis to Shrine Game

Dave Reardon writes:

Hawaii defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis has accepted an invitation to the Dell East -West Shrine Game at Reliant Stadium in Houston on Jan. 20.

Alama-Francis is also scheduled to play in the Jan. 14 Cornerstone Bancard Hula Bowl at Aloha Stadium.


"Right now he's in both," said John Murphy, a board member of the East-West Shrine Game. "He might get some advice otherwise, but right now he's told us he wants to play in both games. We understand that he'd like to play in front of the home crowd (at the Hula Bowl) once more, that's fine."

Congratulations to Ikaika! He'll be missed!
