One of the best rivalries in Oklahoma takes place Friday night in Jenks.
Tulsa Union travels to Allan Trimble Stadium to take on the Trojans in the renewal of the “Backyard Bowl,” the annual meeting between the Redhawks and the Trojans.
Union, though, is seeking a breakthrough win after beginning the season 0-2 with two lopsided defeats. On the flip side, Jenks (2-0) is coming off two strong wins on the road, and the Trojans finally get to come home and attempt to continue the Redhawks’ misery.
The two teams played one another twice last season. Union won the regular-season game, but Jenks won the rematch in the Class 6A-I quarterfinals.
