What you need to know about Jenks
Jenks needed every ounce of its resolve and good fortune to win last week against Broken Arrow (Broken Arrow, Okla.) in overtime, 35-34. Jenks blocked an extra point in overtime that would have extended the game, and handed the Tigers their sixth loss of the season. After two costly turnovers by quarterback Ike Owens, the senior engineered two touchdown drives to send things to overtime and then punched-in the go-ahead score before Ashton Cunningham’s fateful block to seal the game.
Jenks has two seniors headed to FBS programs next season in three-star athlete Jalyn Stanford and mammoth offensive lineman Landon Zaldivar. Stanford is a three-star athlete heading to the University of Houston, while the 6-5, 300-pound Zaldivar is also a three-star recruit on his way to Memphis next season. Other players like Ty Walls, who holds offers to play college football from all of the service academies, and running back Jaiden Carroll, will also factor into Jenks’ plan to put an end to Bixby’s streak.
