The third annual Battle Born Football Classic will be held Nov. 9-11 in Winnemucca.
Sixteen teams from Winnemucca, Lovelock, Battle Mountain, Elko, Spring Creek and Yerington will compete in three different age brackets.

The tournament is being sponsored by the Winnemucca Convention and Visitors Authority, and Compressor Pump and Service from Elko.
The Battleborn Football Classic Facebook page states, “To insure that we promote respect and sportsmanship, each Head Coach is required to post a $150 Sportsmanship Bond to emphasize the need to hold their coaches and players accountable for Good Sportsmanship.”
