We are Very Proud of you Nic Wilkes!
Thank You- Rotary Club of Redding - Record Searchlight- The Seamans Family Foundation for Recognition and Generous Scholarship.
The Frontier Conference is a tough one. I think six teams could make an argument to win the conference and seven teams are capable of making the postseason. Obviously, they all won't but the talent and returning starters are there. Here's my preview

National Signing Day -
Thank you Shasta High for hosting, and all the friends and family that attended. We appreciate it 💜 @KyleWilkes_@YotesFootball@shastafootball
Day, who was serving as assault force commander for Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Fallujah in April 2007, and his team were tasked with capturing a high-ranking member of al-Qaida during a combined helicopter-borne direct action mission.
According to his Silver Star citation, Day was the first of his team to enter the room where enemy insurgents were located and engaged in heavy automatic weapons fire.
“Despite multiple gunshot wounds, he continued to engage the enemy, transitioning to his pistol after the loss of his primary weapon, eliminating three enemy personnel without injury to the women and children in close proximity to the enemy personnel,” the Silver Star citation says.
“Additionally, his decisive leadership and mental clarity in the face of his injuries ensured the success of the mission which resulted in the destruction of four enemy personnel and the recovery of sensitive United States military equipment and valuable intelligence concerning enemy activity in the area,” the citation says.
Day’s sustained 16 shots to his body, including his abdomen, arms and legs, while his body armor took another 11 shots. He also was also struck with grenade shrapnel. His initial recovery lasted two years, although he shared in his 2020 memoir “Perfectly Wounded” that he still struggled with pain.
“I didn’t even know how bad I was hurting until they came in, and I saw the looks on their faces,” Day told Coffee or Die Magazine in 2020 about his teammates finding him after the attack.
Day passed away on March 27, 2023.
