Jenks - State champs AGAIN, who's shocked?

Does it have to be Jenks in Union until the end of Days, that the game almost every year

Drive by the stadium. Some Colleges wish they had Unions Facilities.

When Morisson had the 8 man team that was going for the world record of consecutive wins, people were buying Chicken coops in the area so their kids could play on that team as "residents"

Union is no different.

I understand that, Broken Arrow has equal if not a nicer stadium, and faculties than Union and Jenks. Owasso has nice facilities as well.... BA definitely had more students, but nobody every seems to gain on these two

Saw on the news tonight that they actually split 6A into two divisions for the first time this year. 32 teams in 6A...they took the 16 smaller schools and lumped them into one division, and the 16 larger ones into a different division.

Bixby won the 6A-II state championship tonight.

Jenks and union recruit more aggressively.

Jenks and union recruit more aggressively.

They always have. We played both schools every year, and were a "smaller" 5A school compared to them. 6A didn't exist then. When there's that many students to choose from, it's not hard to find a stud for almost every position, and one for second string as well. Union's turf was the first artificial turf I'd ever played on, and iirc, was the only school that had it in the late 80 ' s besides one of the Lawton schools.

Well that's kind of what I meant. Let's say a really good player lives on the other side of town. All of a sudden they have a residence in Jenks district when they start high school. Bet there's a jenks rectuiter at most youth league pop warner type football games.

My boy plays for bixby. So excited for him. The game was awesome. Our only loss for the year was to Jenks.

East side schools will continue to dominate football until the philosophy on that side of the state changes (if ever). The east side has chosen to keep huge sized school districts in place. The west side breaks them up. Things would still be competitive east to west if Edmond, Moore, OKC, and Norman all had single districts or if Jenks, Union, and BA were broken up into 2 or 3 districts each. Not saying one way is better than the other. Just saying it will always be an east side team on top as long as those huge districts exist.
