π¦π The 33rd Annual Fayetteville Lions Football Jamboree was held Saturday evening at Highland Rim School. After a thoroughly rainy day, our prayers were answered, and the storms passed us by, allowing all 5 great preseason scrimmages to be completed. We were happy that our Jamboree fans found us at Highland Rim and either brought their own lawn chairs or found seating in the new bleachers. We were also happy that so many came hungry and visited our concession stands.
Our Jamboree Chair, Gary Wright, said "Each participating team was given the opportunity to evaluate their players and playbooks under full-padded and TSSAA-refereed game conditions. I know that the coaches appreciate that right before the regular season begins." He also thanked all participants including the teams, coaches, cheerleaders, referees, safety and security personnel, Lions and partners working their assigned duties, and especially the attending family and fans. "This Jamboree raises a lot of money for each participating school and also kicks off the Lions fundraising program that supports our vision and hearing screening, eye exams and glasses for uninsured people in need, youth contests, hunger relief efforts and all the Fayetteville Lions community services throughout the year."
Lion Wright also gave "a big "shoutout" to the leadership and staff of Highland Rim School who stepped up enthusiastically to host this year's Jamboree when weather delays to the resodding of the field at Lincoln County High School forced us to move our venue. They provided us everything we needed to make this year's event a success." π¦π¦πππ¦π¦
