Union City, Tenn.–Two football programs that share the same school colors will clash on multiple levels Friday night when Union City plays at Covington in the inaugural Purple and Gold Jamboree.
Action will begin at 6 p.m. when UC Middle School faces Crestview for two quarters of action. The high school jayvee/freshman teams will battle during a pair of quarters at 6:45, with the two varsity squads closing out the event at 7:30 in a two-quarter scrimmage.
Both high school bands will also perform – UC’s at 6:30 and Covington’s at 7:15.
Admission is $8 per person on GoFan.com but will be $10 at the gate. No passes will be accepted.
Union City returns 19 starters from last year’s seven-win team, while Covington is expected to challenge for the Class 3A state title with a wealth of talent and experience returning from last year’s quarterfinal squad.
UCHS will host the jamboree with the same format next season.
