The Kansas State High School Activities Association has given the authorization for schools to participate in a controlled scrimmage jamboree. Possible dates this year are August 30th and 31st.

Junction City High School Athletic Director Matt Westerhaus said the football jamboree will allow teams to host scrimmages with other teams. The traditional Blue / White scrimmage may look different. “Instead of us scrimmaging us it would be us bringing in some teams, and we don’t know who that may be yet. But then there would be some controlled situations, and they would have a limited number of plays so it would be us going against whoever, so it’s going to look different.” Westerhaus added, “It will add an opportunity to go against another opponent outside of yourself.”

Junction City High School wants to host a jamboree next season, but that is not yet final.
