Jenks and Union will meet again for the Class 6A high school football state championship.
And Cascia Hall will try for its third straight state title.
Jenks plays Union at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the University of Tulsa's Chapman Stadium. Last year, Union beat Jenks to win the 6A title. Jenks won the teams' regular-season meeting this year.

The sites and times for next week's state-title games in other classes are expected to be announced Sunday by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association.
