The Jackson Junior Indians youth tackle football team placed second at the Missouri State Show Me Games held June 14-16 in Columbia, MO. The team is comprised of area 11 year olds who compete in youth tackle football from April - December.

The team will compete in several more tournaments this year including two competions in St. Louis, one in Southest Missouri, and one in Knoxville, TN.

A team fundraiser is also planned to raise funds to honor fallen teammate Parker King who died in a UTV crash in 2012. The team will wash cars on August 10th from 9am-1pm at the Branding Iron in Jackson, and all proceeds will go towards purchasing two benches for the Jackson Area Youth Football fields in Jackson.
