Want to get a “sneak peek” at the Jonesboro-Hodge High School boys and girls basketball teams that will be taking the floor during the 2025-26 LHSAA basketball season? Then the JHHS boys’ gymnasium is the place you want to be every Thursday evening during June, as both squads will be in action weekly, taking part in the JHHS Summer League.
Not only will you have the opportunity to see the locals play, but also Union Parish, Lincoln-Prep, D’Arbonne Woods, Rayville, and Winnfield High Schools in the girls division, and the same six, along with Homer, Ringgold, and New Living Word on the boys side.
“We are excited about getting the opportunity for our girls and guys to practice and play this summer which not only will help our teams in the upcoming season but also gives the kids something to do and keeps them focused on things that are good for them and provide positive reinforcement,” said JHHS head boys basketball coach Fred Hearne.
In games played last Thursday, the JHHS boys beat D’Arbonne Woods by a 36-24 score with D.J. Palmer, King Campbell, and Lon’Trevious Burns providing most of the firepower, while the Lady Tigers fell short to Choudrant.
“We had a really good turnout for our first week of games, and I hope that we continue to see more come out as the league continues,” said Hearne. “It means a lot to the kids to see that they are being supported by people coming to see them play.”
Eight games are on tap for this Thursday, June 12th, with the Jonesboro-Hodge boys playing two games, the first being at 5:00 pm against New Living Word (Ruston) and the second being the final matchup of the night that will pit Rayville against JHHS at 7:00 pm. The Lady Tigers, coached by Shan Jackson, will also play Rayville at 6:00 pm.
