There’s football to be played in February as five boys from Carson City will head to El Paso Texas for a national youth tournament.
Players from Reno-based Southwest All-Star Showcase will be in Texas Feb. 21. Teams are formed on tryouts basis and the teams formed travel to Sacramento, Los Angeles and El Paso Texas, said Justin Gragg, a defensive coach the 10u Northern Nevada Battle Born All-Star football team.
The Carson City youth going are: Armani Gonzalez, TE and punter; Michael Bittner, defensive tackle and center; Francisco Torres, defensive tackle and offensive tackle and Asher Gragg, running back and middle linebacker and Jacob Butterfield, wide receiver and cornerback.
The boys played for Carson City Pop Warner 10U and won a regional championship together prior to making the all-star team.
Fundraising is underway, with a goal of $3,000. Go here to support the boys. See the video below.
