Optimist All-Star Football Game Saturday at Sacramento State

Ben Pau

The 62nd annual Bell Bros Shrine Optimist All-Star Football Game will be played Saturday, January 18th at Sacramento State.

Local high school Seniors will be playing for charity on Hornet Field beginning at 1 p.m.

The North will be stacked with Rio Linda players and former coaches such as head coach Don Dillon, David Godinho and Mike Grant.

Phenomenal Knights running back Cameron Skattebo will be playing in what should be his last game as a Rio Linda Knight and will get a preview of the field he’ll be playing on next year as he joins the Sacramento State Hornets for the 2020 season.

Finishing up a breakout year in which he received All-Metro, All-League and All-Section honors, Knights QB/WR/DB/Kick returner Abraham Banks will be playing, finishing up his prep career at Hornet Field as well.

TE/LB Ben Pau and OL/DE Eddie Rabuku will also play for the Knights.

General admission is $12 and parking is $10.
