It's a great day to play football in Tate County! Jamboree action kicks off tonight as our student-athletes hit the field to get their first real game action of the season.

Strayhorn High School defends home turf against H.W. Byers, while Independence High School travels up the road to face Lewisburg High School.

Pack the stands, bring the energy, and support our Mustangs and Wildcats as they launch a new season under the Friday night lights.
