Bossier High School Football Jamboree Is Closer Than You Think
While hard to believe, due to this merciless heat wave, it's football season in Louisiana!
The NFL has begun its series of pre-season games with both the Cowboys and Saints having games again this weekend.
LSU's season opener with USC is less than three weeks away on Sunday, September 1 and we're just over two weeks from high school football!
Just Two More Weeks Until High School Football Returns To Bossier
That's right, just a little more than two more weeks until time for some Friday Night Lights again!
High School football returns on Friday night, August 30 with the Bossier City Lions Club 71st Annual High School Football Jamboree!
According to the Bossier Lions Club Facebook page, once again, all six Bossier Parish High School football teams will make appearances in this annual event.
The Jamboree Is Incredibly Important To The Bossier Lions Club
This is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Bossier Lions Club, who do so many incredible things with the funds including:
- Award a college scholarship to a student from each Bossier Parish school
- Send special needs children to the Louisiana Lions Camp in Leesville, La. at no charge
- Fund free eye exams and glasses for school children who can't afford them
There are so many other things they do, but you can see just how many will benefit from these games.
Gates will open at 4:30 pm with pre-game festivities slated to start at 5:15 pm.
It will be once again held at Airline High School and will feature three games, each only two quarters long, beginning at 5:45 pm.
The first pairing will be Airline and Parkway kicking off at 5:45 pm. Following that game it's Bossier and Plain Dealing squaring off at approximately 7:15 pm and the nightcap between Benton and Haughton will kick off around 8:45 pm
Bands, dance lines and cheerleaders will also be featured.
Tickets will be $8 for adults and students. Children 5 and under get in free.
