It's Jenks and Union Again in Oklahoma

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle


The 2008 Oklahoma high school football season doesn't open until September 4th, and once again, all eyes will be on the state's top two programs Jenks and Union. Those two schools, that are only 10-miles apart, have combined to win 13 of the state's last 15 Class 6A titles.

Surprisingly though, Jenks, which has won back-to-back titles and has10 state championships since 1993, opens the season ranked second in the state's 6A pre-season poll behind it's arch-rival Union. Of course the argument is always settled on the field...sometimes twice in a season.

In 2007, Union won the regular season game 43-42 in overtime, but Jenks won the state title game 42-24. This year's regular season showdown, which is usually played in front of 30,000 fans, will take place on September 12th.

Here's a look at the Pre-Season 6A Rankings....

1. Union (13-1)
2. Jenks (13-1)
3. Norman North (9-3)
4. Muskogee (9-4)
5. Midwest City (12-1)
6. Owasso (9-3)
7. Broken Arrow (6-5)
8. Edmond Sante Fe (5-5)
9, Putname City North (8-3)
10. Westmoore (8-4)
