On Saturday, June 28th, the Jackson Parish Unity Team will hold the inaugural Jonesboro Jump Shot Jam. The one-day tournament for boys aged 12-18 will be played at the Full Gospel Temple Church Gymnasium, located at 773 Walker Road in Jonesboro. 

The five-man tournament with a first place prize of $500.00, is the latest project that the Jackson Parish Unity Team (JPUT), which is a coalition of local pastors, government, and business leaders, has put together in their two years of existence in the effort to unite residents of Jackson Parish in the effort to stop senseless violence.
