The season officially kicks off next week, but tonight fans can get a glimpse of their favorite teams – and their rivals – with a pair of jamborees.
East Ridge ball carrier Alonzo Russell gets tied up with a McMinn Central defensive player during a scrimmage last month at Bradley Central. East Ridge will take part in the Best of Preps Jamboree tonight at Finley Stadium.
McCallie’s B.J. Harris fights for extra yards as Baylor’s Gabriel Stulce, left, and Cooper Lewis, middle, try to bring him down during their game last season. McCallie is among the teams competing in tonight’s Best of Preps Jamboree at Finley Stadium.For the third consecutive year, the Times Free Press is proud to help sponsor the annual Best of Preps Jamboree at Finley Stadium. That event, also sponsored by Truck ‘N Trailers USA, begins at 5:30 p.m. with Chattanooga Christian taking on Sale Creek.
