Hays High was set to host the Maroon and Gold Jamboree on Friday night with Salina South and Wichita East. The plan was to start at 7:00 and be finished around 8:30. The host school would introduce the fall sports teams, cheerleaders, marching band and dance team.
However, just before the first play was snapped lightning threatened the area. Shortly after the weather pushed off any outdoor activities.
Thanks to the generosity of Fort Hays State University, the football teams were able to move to the indoor facility and still play their jamboree. It took longer than expected but the last play took place just before 10:00.
While it looked different coach Tony Crough still had a chance to see his team in action.
Hays High opens the season at Junction City on September 1st.
