Stability is starting to return to Jefferson City football. Steadiness at the head coach position is something Jays’ fans grew accustomed to with Pete Adkins heading the program from 1958-94. But after Ron Cole, Tony Grosso and Ted LePage filled the position from 1995-2017, Jefferson City cycled through Terry Walker and Scott Bailey in a matter of three years. Entering the Jays’ season opener at 8 p.m. today against the School of the Osage Indians at Adkins Stadium, Jefferson City has found some stability in head coach Damon Wells as he enters his third season.
