Red Bluff seeking to move to 5-0 tonight
The Red Bluff High School Varsity football team will be looking to end its pre-league slate with an unbeaten mark when it hosts Orland High School in its homecoming game. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. A win would move the Spartans to 5-0, but it will have to come against perhaps their toughest opponent to date: a 3-1 Trojans team that lost to unbeaten Shasta last Friday night. Coach Jacob Daricek said that after last week’s 49-14 win over the Trojans, the team’s energy will have to be better against them. Trojans quarterback Luke Schager leads them with 480 yards rushing.

Leaf attributes his start to the season to his off-season work.
