<p>Tonight is jamboree night and teams across the state will meet for organized scrimmages to use as final tune-ups for the regular season which begins on September 5 and 6. The jamboree format is voluntary and started in Kansas during the fall of 2019. Some schools still conduct scrimmages within their own programs and I have seen some set up to include elementary and junior high teams in the district. </p>
