Perhaps the biggest regular season game of the year takes place Friday night when Jenks and Union meet in the annual Backyard Bowl.

The contest will take place at 7 p.m. at TU Chapman Stadium on the University of Tulsa campus.

Jenks running back and Oklahoma commit Alex Ross said he can't see any reason to ever stop the storied rivalry.
