Jamborees this year take place on August 22-23 with Joplin traveling to Webb City to scrimmage with Seneca and Webb City. Join us live from Webb City as we preview the 2008 Joplin Eagles season. Our first game broadcast on 1230 The Fan comes your way on August 29th as Joplin kicks things off by hosting the Glendale Falcons at Junge Stadium with Kevin Welch and Bobby Landis.
It's High School football time baby!
Well it's here. High school football is upon us and we're ready!
It all gets started with the Jamborees this Friday and Saturday.
Jesse and I will be live from Webb City as the Cardinals, Joplin and Seneca get it on. We'll also have live look-ins from other Jamborees around the area like McAuley in action at Missouri Southern as we break it down just seven days from the beginning of the regular season.
Last football season began our local programming here on 1230 The Fan and this year we've stepped it up to another level.
Beginning Friday August 28th-you'll be able to hear six consecutive hours of prep football action.
Kicking things off is the St. John's SportsCare Football Friday Night Preview Show at 5:30pm.
From there we go straight to Joplin eagle football with Kevin Welch and Bobby Landis.
Following the Eagles it's the St. John's SportsCare Football Friday Night Scoreboard Show where we get you caught up on the nights results with scores and coaches interviews following the games in the area.
I haven't een mentioned what's going on on Saturday's with Missouri Southern!
It's going to be a great prep football season. Carthage may be the best team in our area as the Tigers, Webb City and Neosho head to the expanded Central Ozarks Conference.
Joplin has some question marks (as does everyone) and play a very difficult Ozarks Conference schedule.
McAuley looks to get back to the state playoffs again while Seneca is going to be young, Carl Junction has to replace the production of Zack Porath and Neosho and McDonald County have new head coaches.
Lots of great story lines and expectations for the 2008 season. You'll hear them all on 1230 The Fan.
