We caught up with Seneca's head football coach Cody Hilburn on Webb City's jamboree.

Hilburn said, "I think it's one of the best jamborees in the state. If you look at the success of all four teams and getting four like-minded teams together to get a few reps in. It's pretty exciting for our kids. It's a great opportunity for us to see some bigger schools, Webb City and Joplin, and find out some stuff we need to improve on before week one."
