REDDING, Calif. - Simpson University will host the Redding Breakfast Lions Club’s 18th annual boys and girls high school All-Star basketball games on Sunday, April 7.
Fifty-four athletes from throughout far Northern California will participate under the guidance of four volunteer coaches. Girls play at 4 p.m.; boys play at 6. Admission is a $5 donation, and children under 8 are free.
Half-time of each game will include a 3-point shootout among parents of team members. Proceeds from food sales will go to Special Olympics Northern California.
The Redding Breakfast Lions Club began the tournament in 1996 as a way to promote sports and activity for youth in the community.
This year, the 27 boys and 27 girls, who are divided into two teams each—North and South—will be coached by Mike Carpine from Weed High School, Mike Haworth from Enterprise High School, Ken Dysert from Yreka High School, and Ray Hermann from Enterprise.
“It looks to be quite the show,” said Lions Club member Guy Piche, one of the volunteers who organizes the event.
