With the National Football League and NCAA football already beginning to roll in, the LHSAA will allow their schools to participate in scrimmages beginning this Thursday and Friday. The contests will be the only preseason action before season openers a week later, set for the first weekend of October. All three Jeff Davis Parish (JDP) Schools are set to host scrimmages this week, with Jennings High hosting 4A Leesville at Jerry Simmons Stadium on Thursday at 5:30. Welsh will also go on Thursday as well, and renew an old rivalry with former district mate Kinder at Greyhound Stadium on the campus of Welsh High School at 5:30.
