Four jamborees will be taking place involving area teams this week.

Adams County Christian School will be involved in the Copiah Jamboree Thursday.

ACCS will face River Oaks at 5 p.m.

Copiah takes on Cenla at 5:30 p.m.

Cenla will be under its fourth head coach in four years as Kevin Vanek, the longtime president of the Red River Youth Football League, takes over the program.

Vanek takes over for Haden Gilder, who guided the Lions through a one-win season last year and left last month to take another job.

River Oaks meets Madison Ridgeland White at 6 p.m.

River Oaks adds a new weapon to it's offense in running abck Teshadi Talton.

Talton transfered to River Oaks from West Monroe, and will get a lot of playing time this season.

"They have a lot of speed and they are a high quality opponent," said ACCS head coach Paul Hayles. "We have to fine a way to slow them down."

ACCS faces East Rankin at 6:30 p.m.

Cenla takes on MRA Dark at 7 p.m.

East Rankin meest MRA White at 7:30 p.m., followed by the final game with Copiah taking on MRA Dark.

"One thing we'll be concentrating on is our guys up front," Hayles said. "We're looking for more cohesiveness. But that's part of being young."

Tensas Academy, which plays in an 8-man football league, is playing in the Rebul Jamboree Thursday in Learned, MS.

Tensas plays Briarfield at 4:45 p.m. and Park Place at 6:30 p.m.

Tensas scrimmaged Tallulah last week.

"We made a lot of mistakes," said Tensas coach Joe Coats. "But we expected that because we have a lot of people in new positions."

On Friday, Cathedral High hosts its first jamboree.

Trinity takes on St. Aloysius at 6:30 p.m., followed by Cathedral against Wilkinson County Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m.

"We'll get a good idea of where we are at before our first game," said first-year Cathedral coach Ron Rushing. "Right now I'm pretty pleased. The players are buying into what we are trying to teach them. I'm happy with our conditioning. We just need to work on our footwork and sharpen up what we've been doing."

The Natchez High Jamboree kicks off Friday at 5 p.m. Teams involved along with host Natchez are Wilkinson County, Jefferson County, South Pike and Pointe Coupee.
