Austin Barth, a senior at Columbia Falls High School, was the lone Wildcat from the school's 2011 football team picked to play in the 66th annual Montana East-West Shrine Game next year.

Barth, who played quarterback on offense and linebacker on defense for the Cats, was picked to play outside linebacker for the West team. The game will be played in Great Falls on July 21.

The Shrine game is one of the oldest high school all-star football games in the U.S. It has been played every year since 1947 as a fundraiser and to raise awareness for the Shriner's Hospital for Children, in Spokane, Wash.

In recent years, the Montana game has become one of the top Shrine games in the country for hospital donations.
