Kaden Jordan, the experience has been rewarding since he has had the chance to interact with some pretty cool kids and help them out.

Max Huston and Kaden Jordan showcase Seaman High School Vikings' championship culture
The trio's participation reflects the strong football culture established at Seaman High School Vikings under Swafford's leadership.
Max Huston's selection as the East squad's rotating quarterback demonstrates his ability to adapt quickly to new systems, a skill that should serve him well at Coffeyville Community College. His decision to attend Coffeyville was influenced by the immediate starting opportunity available.
Kaden Jordan's commitment to Hutchinson Community College represents his confidence in one of Kansas's premier junior college programs.
The defensive lineman praised Hutchinson's coaching staff and program reputation during his recruitment process. Bryer Finley remains undecided between football and baseball for his collegiate career, though his versatility and work ethic make him an attractive prospect for any program.
The game will also feature Washburn Rural High School's Caden Estrada, adding another Shawnee County representative to the East roster.
Estrada has signed with Emporia State University for the upcoming fall season.
