The JHHS Cobra football team will not play their first game at Oskaloosa on September 4 or the home game against Horton on September 11. This is due to team quarantine and the required number of practices before games. At this time, the games have not been rescheduled.
JHHS students enjoyed playing Can Jam outside during Miss Stewart's PE class this week.
