Jamboree at Valley Heights
August 25
The high school football jamboree for tonight at Valley Heights High School is still on. The start time has been moved back to 8:00 in an effort to make sure the weather within the acceptable ranges according to KSHSAA.
The team will leave at 4:30 and arrive around 7:00.
We will scrimmage at 8:00 against Valley Heights first and Republic County second.
Valley Heights is going to feed us pizza after we play, then we will head for home hopefully around 9:30, arriving back in Oskie around 12:00.
As we all know, the heat is a concern. So Valley Heights has taken the following steps to help deal with the situation:
-Tents will be set up in each team's space to provide shade.
-We will have water tubs at each tent for athletes that need to be cooled off.
-We will have ice available for teams to use.
-When teams are on bye during the rotations they will have access to the school to cool off in air conditioning.
-an AED will be on each sideline.
-EMS crews will be attending the Jamboree
-adequate breaks will be provided for rest and rehydration.
Thank you for your patience as plans have changed several times this week.
