MOUNT ULLA — The annual Rowan County Jamboree returns to West Rowan on Friday, Aug. 15.
The Falcons hosted the original Jamboree in 2018. There was one year missed due to COVID, but the popular event has survived lightning delays and traffic jams and has made a full circuit of the county’s public high schools now, with every program serving as the host team.
The Jamboree provides the unique opportunity to see the six Rowan football teams in one place on the same night.
The cost is $8. There have been a few adjustments to the original schedule.
At 6 p.m., Salisbury will tangle with South Iredell, while East Rowan takes on North Iredell.
At 7 p.m., South Rowan will battle Pine Lake Prep, while North Rowan takes on Carson.
West Rowan is scheduled to take the field against SouthLake Christian at 8 p.m.
North Rowan, South Rowan and Salisbury have new quarterbacks, while Carson and East Rowan are likely to split quarterback duties this season. Brant Graham will be a third-year starter for West Rowan.
North Rowan returns county rushing leader Jo Jo Tarver. Salisbury returns receiver Jay’lin Johnson, who broke school records for TD catches and receiving yards last season.
