Trojans Represented at All-State

The following Trojan athletes and trainers represented Jenks at the 2010 Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State games:

James Holder to Compete in Greece

James Holder, a 2010 Jenks graduate, will represent the Nation as a Team USA member at the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece next year.

Jenks Physicals & Drug Testing Aug. 2

All students planning to participate in Jenks Athletics over the 2010-2011 school year, in any sport, must take a physical and drug test. The Jenks athletic department is holding its annual physical and drug testing Tuesday Aug. 3.

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.

Dunham on Team USA

Justin Dunham is an all-American hero from one of the country’s favorite towns, Jenks, Okla.

Dunham represented Jenks, Tulsa and the Unites States as a member of Team USA at the Taekwondo British Championships. The tournament was held in Kidderminster England.

Trojan Swimmers Grab 26th Title

The Jenks Swim Teams won the 2009-2010 state championship. In doing so, the boys won their fourth straight state championship while the girls won their third straight, making Jenks Swimming the most successful high school program in any sport for 6A over the last two decades.

College-Bound Trojans Sign

As the Jenks District Gazette goes to press, the following athletes have not confirmed where they will attend college.

John Timmons will be signing to play soccer. Stephen Brown, Tyler Davidson, Eric Hanson, Cory Jones and Matthias Wicks all plan to play football at the next level.

Jake Alexander Goes Worldwide

Trojan pride runs deep. This is in large part due to outstanding student athletes such as Jake Alexander.

Alexander was instrumental in the Trojans’ 2009 football success and he has been recognized for it; the 6’2” 270 lb. center was listed on the All-State team, was Tulsa World’s All-Metro Player of the Year and has been named to the USA Football’s Junior National Team (JNT).
