Do you like football?  Already feeling the hunger pains after the Superbowl.  Well, Redding has it's own team.

The Shasta Longhorns (http://shastalonghorns.com).

Owner Chris Navarro hopes that bringing semi-professional, or as he calls it, club football to Redding will be a great thing for the community.

Redding has a long history of semi-professional football teams.  For some reason, the community has never really gotten behind it.  Maybe this team will be different.  The team consists of a lot of local football talent.  Mr. Navarro hand picked a team after holding tryouts and inviting many of the Alumni Football Players from last year's Alumni Football games.  In case you didn't know, Shasta beat Enterprise 46-6 one day after the Shasta High School Wolves fell to the Enterprise Hornets in the River Bowl.

Now, almost 5 months later, players from Shasta and Enterprise, along with other Alumni players and local talent, gear up together to take on the Pacific Coast Football League's All-Star Team.

Kickoff will be at 5:00 PM at U-Prep's Gilmore Stadium.  Mr. Navarro will be donating some of the proceeds of this game and others to local high school sports programs.
