The rivalry between the Catawba County Hornets and Iredell County Warriors adds a page to its storied book Saturday when the two teams meet at Westside/Jaycee Park in Central Carolinas Football League action.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith signed a 3-year, $18 million extension in April.

Smith released a statement Thursday regarding the generous donation.
