Football season is upon us – jamboree Friday at Joplin

The 2023 football season is about to get underway.

At 7 p.m. Friday, Webb City will participate in a preseason jamboree at Joplin, running plays against Seneca and Lamar.

The first game of the season will be Friday, Aug. 25, at Nixa.

Something new this year will be a “tailgate” party prior to the first home game on Sept. 1 vs. Carl Junction.

The tailgater is replacing the annual pep rally with the hope that more fans will get to see the introduction of students in all sports and activities.
