Area high school football teams get their first taste of the upcoming season with jamborees Friday.

The exhibitions offer a chance for players to take the field in a competition for the first time this school year, but it also gives new coaches an idea of what to expect.

Maryville will have a couple new faces on the sideline this year working under head coach Matt Webb.
Former Northwest Missouri State standout Jacob Vollstedt will coach the Spoofhound linebackers this Fall.
Webb is excited to see the energy Vollstedt will bring to the team.

"When you can take an All-American linebacker from Northwest and put him in the same defense and say 'coach linebackers,' it's a blessing," Webb said. "Those guys will add a lot of youth to our program, a lot of experience playing at a high level, a championship caliber level. Those are the type of coaches we want to have."

Kellen Overstreet is also new to the coaching staff.

Overstreet set the Missouri single-season rushing record with 4,259 yards in 2014 at Penney High School in Hamilton, and went on to play Division I football for the Wyoming Cowboys. He will coach the Spoofhound receivers.

Maryville is at William Chrisman High School in Independence tonight for a jamboree against Kansas City Center, Lee's Summit North and William Chrisman. The regular season begins August 30 against Blair Oaks.
