LISBON FALLS — The Lisbon Police All-Stars Football Team is set to play former New England Patriot players at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at Lisbon High School Campus, 2 Sugg Drive.

This year’s event features Lisbon police officers and Lisbon teachers and coaches from various Lisbon High School teams.

The New England Patriots team is made up of three-time Super Bowl champ running back/full back, Patrick Pass; Super Bowl champ and “Snow Bowl Hero” tight-end Jermaine Wiggins; Super Bowl champ defensive back Shawn Mayer; ’86 AFC champ and Super Bowl player defensive end Garin Veris; line-back Vernon Crawford (who was brought back because he is really fun with the fans and players); and full-back Harold Shaw.

“We are awaiting confirmation of the ’96 AFC champ and Super Bowl player, Max Lane,” said Officer Renee Bernard. Shaw and Pass will be conducting a clinic prior to the game.

The event will begin at noon with an NFL Punt-Pass-Kick Program for Lisbon third- and fifth-grade football players, run by the Lisbon Recreation Department.

Lisbon fifth- and sixth-grade football players will attend a clinic run by some of the Patriot Alumni.

The flag football game will begin at 1 p.m. on Thompson Field.

At half time the activities will include autographs by the Lisbon Police All-Stars and the Patriots Alumni. A great half time show will be put on by a combination of Lisbon High School cheerleaders. Some seventh and eighth grade Philip W. Sugg Middle School students will join the two teams in the second half of the game.

All proceeds from the game support the Lisbon D.A.R.E. programs and its many offerings throughout the year for children and adults to take advantage of drug-free activities.

The PWS Camp Kieve group will be offering refreshments and the Lisbon SADD will be offering 50/50 tickets. Ticket can still be purchased at the gate.
