MaxPreps Staff Report
TULSA, Okla. --- The MaxPreps USA Football Tour was on hand at the University of Tulsa's Skelly Stadium Friday night as Jenks outlasted Tulsa Union, 9-6.
The victory - achieved in front of more than 24,000 fans - marks Jenks' third-straight regular season win in the series.
Trojan quarterback Mark Ginther gave his team a 9-0 lead in the first quarter with an 80-yard touchdown run, but it was the Jenks' defense that held against a furious late-game rally by Union.
The Redskins pulled to within three points with just over five minutes remaining in the contest, but were denied an apparent game-winning touchdown in the final seconds by a penalty.
