Football Jamboree at Central Plains 8-26-22

With one week to go before the official start of the football season, four eight-man teams met up in Claflin for a jamboree. The Central Plains Oilers hosted the LaCrosse Leopards, Otis-Bison Cougars, and the Spearville Royal Lancers.

Each side had three turns on offense to run 12 plays. The jamboree gave these schools a great opportunity to see some different players and plays before they start the season.

Below are some of the pictures I took at the game:
