Jenks dominance returns; Now homecoming Owasso learns it is hard to stop Trojan horse Chris Adkins as Jenks comes back strong after heartbreaker the week before against Booker T. "I'm proud of you for bouncing back after last week," said coach Trimble referring to last weeks loss to Booker T. Washington. The Trojans on the road up north bounced back hard against Owasso Friday night. It was a one-sided game ending with another Trojan victory. The final score was 34 to 0. Jenks is now 4,1 on the season and 1,1 in league play. "You can't be sad too long," said Tony Gillespie about the Washington game. Judging by the effort on the field, no one was sad. The winning tradition at Jenks was obvious. There was 5:36 left in the first quarter when running back Chris Adkins ran 44 yards for the opening score. Matt Hulse added the extra point making it 7 to 0. Adkins played his first game since an injury against Bixby in the opening game of the season. He looked good, carrying 18 times for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Jenks scored three times in the second quarter for 12 points. First, Matt Hulse, Jenks place kicker, put three points on the board with a 24-yard field goal. Next, Chris Adkins scored his second touchdown with an eight-yard run. With the extra point, Jenks dominance began to show. The final score of the first half was a safety on an Owasso punt attempt. Jenks senior Tanner Shuck, known as the Alaskan Assassin to his team mates blocked the punt for two more points. The first half ended with the score Jenks 19, Owasso 0. In the second half, Jenks received the opening kick off and drove 83 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Mark Ginther completed a five-yard pass to Stephen Campbell for the TD. Jenks went for a two point conversion to make the score 27 to 0. The final touchdown of the night came with less than three minutes to play in the third quarter. Ginther pushed a quarterback keeper over the goal line for the TD. Matt Hulse added the extra point to make the score Jenks 34, Owasso 0. Ginther's passing stats were 17 completions on 22 attempts for 261 yards and one touchdown. Dallas Beeler quarterbacked most of the fourth quarter. He completed all three of his passes for 31 yards. Rushing yardage was 252 yards on 34 carries for an average of 7.4 yards per carry. In addition to Adkins return, Montrell Hunter also returned to the lineup for the first time. His long carry of the night was 55 yards. He ended the night with 7 carries for 86 yards. Considering injuries, Jenks' showing against Owasso was spectacular. Adkins and Hunter returned to the lineup on the offensive side, but lineman Jake Alexander was injured midway through the game and expects to miss the remainder of the season. Defensively, starting linebackers J.C. Forester and Chance Robbins both missed the game. Forester is the other part of the Alaskan connection. Robbins is the son of linebacker coach Brady Robbins. Missing both of the inside linebackers and still shutting out the opponent indicates the strength of Jenks defense. "I guess we play the number one ranked team in the state this week," said coach Trimble. That statement was greeted with obvious disdain from the players. Jenks' winning tradition was obvious in the exchange. The Trojans don't like hearing that another team is ranked higher. "Some of our brothers are hurt and some of you will need to step up," said Trimble. With Muskogee as the opponent, even the fans need to step up. It's homecoming! Friday's Homecoming game against the Muskogee Roughers promises to be a battle between schools that have talent and expectations. It is unquestionably the most important game remaining. Kickoff is at 7:30 with lots of activity in the mix including introduction of this year's homecoming court. |
