play the first game of American football on the continent of Africa, work on some service projects and climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
Many of you helped make this possible by attending football camps last summer and over Christmas & Spring Breaks and through donating to the trip fund and we want to give you the opportunity to keep up with Seth and the team as they make this historic trip.
First off, the latest news is that Head Coach Chris Creighton was on ESPN last week, and also it was announced that Tulsa native and former Notre Dame and NFL player Reggie Brooks will be helping with the youth football clinics in Tanzania.
