Wienecke, Journal Sports Writer 10/04/2006 From the opening drive to the last, Jenks JV football team man-handled the Owasso JV. The final score was 55 to 7. Jenks scored on their first offensive possession in an easy march down the field. Dallas Beeler controlled the quarterback spot and easily picked Owasso apart. On the second play of Owasso's second possession, cornerback Nick Peer pick off an Owasso pass and returned it for Jenks' second TD. Peer ran in untouched for the score. Sophomore running back, Grant Goodwin, carried the ball in for the third touchdown. At 5'9" and 210 pounds, Goodwin is a bruising runner that seems able to run wherever and whenever he wants regardless of how many defenders he needs to carry. The fourth touchdown was a pass from sophomore quarterback Justin Anderson to Alonzo Adams. Adams' speed and agility looked great. Following Jenks' 28th point, Owasso finally got on the board with a single touchdown of their own. For awhile after the Owasso score it appeared momentum had changed. "I want you to go out there right now and stop this! Shut them down! I don't want them (Owasso's offense) on the field! Get'em off," said coach Arrington to the defensive team. And that is exactly what they did. Jenks defense took charge and Owasso's offense was off the field in three plays. The second half started with a one play drive for a touchdown. Jenks never looked back. A recovered fumble, a blocked punt and three more touchdowns sealed the victory for Jenks. Three different quarterbacks commanded the JV team during the rout. Junior Dallas Beeler was in charge during the first 21 points. Sophomore Justin Anderson was the next quarterback and Beeler moved to a receiver position. Anderson was in charge for three touchdowns and then senior Billy Nix took over. Nix, #5, has worked hard for the Trojans. He is identifiable by the opposite colored jersey he wears during games. Nix is one of two players on the sideline signaling plays into the game. Which player is signaling in the actual play is anybody's guess. Nix ran in for the final touchdown of the game. During the game, junior place kicker, Matt Perry wowed everyone with his kickoffs. More than once he put the ball deep in the end zone preventing any possible return. His extra point kicks were perfect. "Developing these young men as good individuals is what is we're doing, the game will take care of itself," said coach Brady Robbins. The future of Jenks football appears to be in good hands. Good coaching, good academics and good young men are typical of the past and the future of Jenks football. The tradition of excellence will continue. |
