COYOTES-SHARKS MOVED TO 7 PM KICKOFF SATURDAY NIGHT AT SHADOW HILLS

(INDIO) – Of course, a Higher Power continues to play the biggest role in the ‘Marinovich Miracle’ this Saturday.

Daytime ‘Excessive Heat Warnings’ from the National Weather Service has moved the history-making comeback of 48-year-old SoCal Coyotes quarterback Todd Marinovich to 7 p.m. Saturday at Shadow Hills Stadium, when America’s #1 Developmental Football Program™ hosts the California Sharks.

With Californians buckling during daytime exposure to ‘Excessive Heat Warnings,’ the Coyotes and Sharks, who play in the Pacific Coast Division of the World Developmental Football League, happily agreed to the 7 p.m. kickoff.

Desert conditions rapidly cool after sundown. “We’re excited now that families can safely enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime Labor Day Coyotes event,” said Ron DiGrandi, Coyotes Senior Vice President.

In addition, pop-up tents from corporate partner Hot Purple Energy will provide cooling stations on the sidelines for athletes of both teams.

“Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our players and fans,” Mr. DiGrandi said.

Marinovich, the 1990 Rose Bowl champion 1991 first-round pick of the Los Angeles Raiders, will become the oldest pro starting quarterback in pro football history when he returns to action in his Coyote comeback.

The much-anticipated contest will be carried live on high-powered FM 97.3 KCLB ROCKS, and also stream live around the globe at  www.937kclb.com. Anyone with a mobile device can catch the game, news, stats, rosters and more by simply downloading the free Coyote ‘YAPP.’ Download the Coyote ‘YAPP’ by searching ‘SoCal Coyotes’ on iTunes or Android Market.

The four-time champion SoCal Coyotes open the commemorative 10^th season of their fifth year, and have never lost a home opener. Marinovich will lead America’s #1 Developmental Football Program™ against a Sharks team that won on the road last week against the Los Angeles Scorpions.

After Saturday, all remaining Coyote games will resume on their flagship ESPN 103.9 FM of the SoCal Coyotes radio network.
