Pieces in Place for Jenks Domination

With Coach Allan Trimble back in the driver’s seat at Hunter-Dwelley Stadium, things seem to be right where they need to be.

One thing missing is ten-year Offensive Coordinator Loren Montgomery. Montgomery has moved on to become the head football coach at Bixby. When Montgomery stepped in to take the helm of one of the most powerful 6A football teams in 2009, he was outright brilliant, taking his Trojans to state even through a whole lot of drama. Jenks will host Bixby for the season opener and the Spartans 6A football debut.

MOUNTAIN MATTERS:
