Bayou Jamb ends in scoreless tie for Giants

Jenaâs Brannon Ingle (16) prepares to scoop up a fumble during the Giantsâ game against Oak Grove during Bayou Jamb last Friday night at ULM in Monroe. Neither team scored as the jamboree game ended in a 0-0 tie. This week, the season opening game against Rayville Hornets slated for Friday night has been canceled because the Hornets were quarantined due to COVID.

For the 3rd time in 4 years the Jena Giants football program had the honor of being invited to participate in the Bayou Jamb held on the campus of ULM. The Bayou Jamb always has some of the best teams from northeast Louisiana so it is always an honor to be invited.
