West Valley softball defeats Lassen, advances to NSCIF title game
It’s been a season of dominance for the West Valley softball team. The Eagles earned the No. 1 seed in the Northern Section Division III playoffs after posting a 25-2 regular season record, but on Thursday, May 21, West Valley was set to face a familiar foe in No. 2 Lassen. In the first matchup between the two schools on April 17, it took the Eagles extra innings to defeat the Grizzlies (21-8). The second time they met on May 5, Lassen handed West Valley its second loss of the season. Both games were decided by one run. The Grizzlies also sent the Eagles home in the NSCIF playoffs a year ago, but West Valley wasn’t going to let that happen again. With a trip to the section championship game on the line, the Eagles stood tall and slugged their way to an 8-1 victory over Lassen. “It was a phenomenal effort by the girls,” Eagles manager Jeff Kuwahara said. “You couldn’t ask for a better group of girls.

If Redding Rodeo Week makes you want to tap your inner cowboy or cowgirl, here are some tips for dressing like the pros. Rodeo event attendees don’t have to worry about dress codes, said Asphalt Cowboy Dave Tappan. “You’ll see a lot of shorts, Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops.” That said, part of the fun of going to Redding Rodeo Week events is the chance to dress like those who ride the range daily — or a Hollywood version of it. Minimum for a western look includes a cowboy hat, leather belt and cowboy boots, according to Western attire fashionistas. The trick is to know which styles of each are right for Shasta County and Redding weather. Here are some dos and taboos to dressing like a real Northern California cowgirl and cowboy. 1.
