Jefferson’s football team prepares to break into the Capitol Conference, leaning on a core of returning starters. With seven veterans on defense and five on offense, the Eagles hope these familiar faces can guide the program to success in a new competitive landscape.

The Central boys basketball team welcomes back three full-time starters and one part-time starter from a squad that went 21-6 last season. With an Area Tournament appearance fresh in their minds, the returning core looks to build on that momentum. They aim to achieve even greater success in the coming season.
