Union tailback Jeremy Smith and quarterback Brandon Rogers helped write another amazing chapter in the Redskins-Jenks football rivalry on Friday night at the University of Tulsa's Chapman Stadium.

Smith rushed for 171 yards, including an overtime touchdown of 5 yards that was followed by the decisive extra-point kick by Tress Way to lift No. 2 Union over top-ranked Jenks 43-42 before a crowd of 20,578 in a battle of teams that have combined to win the last 11 Class 6A state titles.

Union sent the game into overtime tied at 36 on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Rogers to Tracy Moore and Way's extra-point with 17 seconds left in regulation. That completed a seven-play, 69-yard drive.

Jenks had just regained the lead, 36-29, with 1:37 left on Chris Adkins' 62-yard TD run and Ginther's two-point pass to Tramaine Thompson.

In the OT, Ginther fired a 4-yard TD pass to Dallas Beeler on fourth down to put the Trojans ahead 42-36, but a poor snap led to Caleb Pearson blocking the conversion kick.

"I knew when they missed the extra point that we were going to knock it in," said Smith. "I didn't ask for the ball, but I wanted it. This is a super feeling. It was a great game."

The high-scoring affair was quite a contrast to last year's Backyard Bowl, won by Jenks 9-6.

Jenks (1-1) had won the last three previous regular-season meetings against Union (2-0).

Rogers completed 15-of-21 passes for 168 yards and three TDs, and also had a 1-yard TD run.

His counterpart, Ginther, was 17-of-22 for 287 yards and four TDs.

Adkins had 32 carries for 208 yards and two TDs.

Jenks, which jumped to an early 14-3 lead, took a 20-9 advantage into the fourth quarter. The teams combined for 43 points during the final period of regulation.

Way's kicking kept Union in the game during the first half. Way booted a 47-yard field goal to open the scoring. He also had punts of 49 and 74 yards.

Jenks took a 7-3 lead in the first quarter's final minute. Ginther, after a play-fake, passed to an open Tramaine Thompson deep over-the-middle for a 30-yard touchdown. That capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive.

The Trojans dominated most of the second quarter. On his second TD pass of the night, Ginther scrambled to his left and was dangerously close to being over the line of scrimmage at the Union 20 when he fired to Dallas Beeler, who used his three-inch height advantage to pull down the pass over cornerback Caleb Pearson at the goal line. Matt Perry kicked his second extra point to increase Jenks' lead to 14-3 with 7:06 left in the first half.

After a roughing the punter penalty, Jenks appeared set to break the game open in the half's final seconds. On a first down at the Union 35, Mitch Williams blindsided Ginther, the ball popped in the air and defensive lineman Stephen Ruempolhamer rumbled 62 yards for a TD with 28 seconds left.

Rogers, however, was sacked trying to pass for the two-point conversion and Jenks took a 14-9 lead into intermission.
