LA GRANDE, Ore. –The Cascade Collegiate Conference announced the schedule for the upcoming Cascade/Frontier Challenge presented by Red Lion.
The athletic events, matching teams from the two northwest conferences will span over five weekends beginning August 23-25 and ending in mid-November. All contests will be held in Spokane, Wash. and include; volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball and a cross country meet with sections for both men and women.
“We are very excited about the Challenge,” said Cascade Conference Commissioner Rob Cashell. “It is an opportunity to get outstanding NAIA non-conference competition for both of our conferences with reasonable travel and a great location.”
Venues around the Spokane area will play host to the Red Lion Challenge.
Dan Hilsendeger, National Director of Sales-Sports for Red Lion began working on the idea for the Challenge with both Conferences last year. “The nets are being hung and the goals set, all we need are the athletes,” said Hilsendeger. “We can’t be more excited to show the people of Spokane what the Cascade and Frontier Conferences have to offer.”
