Tress Way Weighs In On Backyard Bowl

Posted: Updated:

Posted by: John Moss, Tulsa's Channel 8 Sports - email

It's no secret that Jenks vs. Union, known as the MidFirst Bank Backyard Bowl, is one of the fiercest rivalries in all of High School football.

Friday night, the rivalry will be renewed inside of H.A. Chapman Stadium on the campus of the University of Tulsa.

Union won last year's meeting, en route to a fourth-straight Gold Ball Trophy. This year, the Redskins look to become the fifth team in Oklahoma High School Football history to win five straight.

One of those five schools who have won five championships in a row? You guessed it - the Jenks Trojans.

Needless to say, everyone will be paying attention to this year's edition of the Backyard Bowl - even Tress Way, a former Union Redskin and current captain for the Oklahoma Sooners.

The punter says his mom and dad will be keeping him up-to-date on the game via text message.

The MidFirst Bank Backyard Bowl kicks off at 7 PM Friday night.
