Either Jenks Gold or Jenks White will win the 2005 INFC Championship, Saturday night at Broken Arrow Tiger Field. At 7:00pm Saturday, live on Cox Channel 3, Coach Kollmorgen's and Coach Rosebrook's teams will do battle to determine who will be the 2005 7th Grade INFC Champions. Two well deserving teams, with great coaches, players and parents will bring their JTA/INFC football careers to an end in a classic Jenks vs Jenks championship game. Saturday night will be the last time that the players, coaches and parents will root against a fellow Jenks team, because next year, as 8th graders, they will play together in Jenks school football. With Jenks Silver finishing 3rd in the Post Season Tournament this class has the makings of something special in the years to come. Come out and support your Trojans. Good luck to both teams.

It does not get much better than this... Two well deserving, mutually respected JTA 7th grade teams competing for the 7th grade INFC Championship, live Cox television, being broadcast across the state. Those watching from Union, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Lawton, Midwest City, Moore, Norman, Enid and other organizations can only wish they had such a show of their 7th grade football talent. The meeting of the 2005 Jenks Gold and the 2005 Jenks White was nothing new as both teams have developed a healthy and competitive rivalry since the teams originally formed in the 3rd grade. Coaches, players and parents have commented for years how great the boys would be together, once they reached the 8th grade, and Saturday nights INFC Final was a preview of the future. Ultimately at the end of the game, Gold led White 22-8 and won the 2005 INFC 7th grade title. While Gold had the greater score, there were no losers Saturday night, just a great group of 7th grade Jenks Trojans who are all Jenks Champions. Saturday night showed that JTA Football is "Where the legends begin." Congratulations to both Coach Kollmorgen's and Coach Rosebrook's staff and team for five great years of our own version of Jenks King of the Mountain.

The JTA 7th grade football,cheer and pom members finished their JTA careers in style at the Annual 7th Grade Farewell Party.

Jenks 7th Grade Maroon Repeat as Sooner Classic Champions
For the second straight year Jenks Maroon won the Union Sooner Classic Championship by defeating the Wichita Cowboys. The Cowboys had only lost two games in four years, those being two being at the hands of Jenks Maroon, both in the finals of the Union Sooner Classic. In this years battle, the Cowboys lead the game until thirty-four seconds left in the game when the Maroon line busted a hole for Grant Goodwin to power his way into the end zone for a 12-8 lead. The Cowboys then came back with three powerful runs to score with nine seconds left in the game and the potential 14-12 victory. However the Maroon Trojans would not be denied and with nine seconds remaining in the game Justin Anderson threw the "Quick Score Special" to Jason Turner and he ran into the end zone as the final seconds clicked off the clock to win the game 18-14. The Maroon Trojans all played a great game and Justin Anderson was named as the Sooner Classic Most Valuable Player for the Maroon team. There is no doubt that the Maroon Trojans played one of the most exciting football games in the history of the Sooner Classic and the game will be talked about for years to come. Congratulations to the Maroon Trojan Team for such an outstanding accomplishment.

Jenks, Union football players come together for national championship
Article and Picture By: Mike Averill Tulsa World Staff Writer
12/31/2003
Timmy Stomberg (Clockwise from top left), Sam Sabin, Austin Ross and Chad Ketchum are members of the Tulsa Sooners. The team, made up of fourth-graders from Jenks and Union, won the National Youth Sports Sanctioning Organization National Championship for fourth-graders in Overland Park, Kan.
The intense rivalry between the Jenks and Union high school football teams is well known throughout the country by football diehards and casual fans alike. The Tulsa Sooners have found a way to put that rivalry aside and win a national championship. The team, made up of players from Union Red and Jenks White, won the National Youth Sports Sanctioning Organization National Championship for fourth-graders in Overland Park, Kan. "It feels awesome. Millions and millions of other kids didn't get the opportunity to play in that last game," said Sam Sabin, offensive tackle and defensive end. The team won the first game of the championship tournament handily by a score of 42-6. The next game, the team was behind 15-0 going into the fourth quarter. "These kids had never been in that situation," said head coach Paul Ross. The Sooners scored an early touchdown in the fourth quarter and scored again with about two minutes left to play. In youth play, kicking an extra point is worth two points instead of one. "We kicked the extra point after the first touchdown and after we scored the second one it was an easy choice," Ross said. "We went for another kick and got it through." The Sooners ended up winning by a score of 16-15 and advanced to the national championship game. In the final game, the team faced off against an undefeated Wichita Cowboys team. "We were totally dominant," Ross said. The Sooners won 12-6, earning the team the national championship for their age division. The team is going to be featured in the upcoming film "King of the Mountain," a documentary on the Jenks and Union rivalry. "They wanted to end the movie with these two teams coming together, showing how close the community is," Ross said. "Their only divide is the 50-yard line. But they can also come together and dominate other regions, even as youths." It's easy to dominate when you put together kids from two of the best programs on one team, but what makes the team click is the kids' desire to play. "These kids want to play football, and like it. That makes them easy to coach," Ross said. "One kid came up to me and said, 'I have a sad heart, coach.' Why? Because football season was over." The players know, even at a young age, they are playing with people who during the regular season, are their archrivals. But despite the bitterness between the two schools, and after a regular season match-up between Jenks White and Union Red, there is nothing but love for each other. "After the game, the kids respect one another. They were hugging each other and the parents were just blown away," Ross said. "They were being kids and teammates. There was so much build-up because everyone knows that they play with each other (on the Sooners). It didn't really matter. They played the game and walked off the field together." Sabin said that when they grow up and have to face each other in middle school and high school, they will remain friends. "Every time we play, we play our hardest. We'll still be friends, but rivals too," he said.

5th Grade Gold Earn 4th place Finish in Sooner Classic
You better be ready if you want to compete in the Union Sooner Classic. Just ask our own Jenks 5th Grade Gold team who displayed some unbelievable Jenks toughness and character while competing this past weekend in the Union Sooner Classic.
After losing a close game Saturday morning (BA Gold INFC Playoff Team), they played at 3:00 p.m. and won (Shilo Christian from Arkansas), played at 9:00 p.m. and won (BA Black-INFC Playoff Team), leaving the mud bath in Bixby at 11:00 p.m. Saturday night. The bracket then required them to play again at 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning (Bartlesville INFC Playoff Team)at Union Tuttle, which they won. They then played at 1:00 p.m. (BA Silver INFC Playoff Team) and won. Finally playing their sixth game in 31 hours (TBC INFC Playoff Team), they ran out of gas, lost and captured 4th out of a 15 team bracket. These guys really showed what Jenks Football is all about. There were other teams that played 5 games but none that played 6 and none that had to deal with anything close to playing the last game on Saturday and the first game on Sunday. 6 games in 31 hours in cold, damp conditions against 5 INFC Playoff teams. The coaches are more than proud of these guys for their extraordinary efforts and wanted to share this with the JTA membership. Submitted by: Dolin Argo

Memories of JTA Football from a Past Player's View
At this point in the season coaches, players and parents sometimes wonder if football is really worth the time and effort.
The following letter was received during the 2003 season from a former player on Head Coach, Bill Anderson's, 2003 Jenks Mighty Maroon, 7th INFC Championship team that had to move with his family to the east coast after last season.
Mighty Maroon Team,
Hey how's it going. I see the season is going great and you have got a couple of new players on the team. Hope they enjoy being a on the Mighty Maroon as much as I did. Out here in the east there's a big difference in the football style. The head coach out here does not believe in first or second string. But thanks to the coaches I had with the Mighty Maroon, I was able to come out here and start first defense and offense. The league that I play in here has only five teams (not very big). The team last year went 10-0 but this year we are 3-1 with a win over the Hidden Valley Titans 34-16 and a horriffic lose to the Cave Springs Renagades 14-40. With me missing three wide open sacks. The quarterback is Parker's size and Grant's speed. I have slimmed down alot I weigh about 150. This may sound weird but when I got here I was an instant defensive leader. Thanks again coachs for the displine, and respect you taught me for being a good football player. I'm the third BOB on the team with a 200 and 270 pounder on the line. Its great out here, my team is the Franklin County Steelers. We are gold and black with white helmets with FC on them. My school is doing great, I have plenty of great friends and a couple of very close (girl) friends. I have averaged a A/B in all of my classes. So tell coach Anderson I have kept up with my grades also. Good luck with this year guys. I know that I will always be a part of the Mighty Maroon Team. And ya'll will always be with me every time I am on or off the field.
It was great in Oklahoma. I wish I was there to give the line a bit more beef but I'm doing that here. I love all of you (not like that if your reaction is bad) but your know.
See you sometime in life.
Your Part Time Beef,
BOBO Brown #56

"Where the Legend Begins" - QBC & TPAA & JTA
Many times the history of an organization can get lost as it grows and adapts to the changing needs of the community. The JTA organization has very colorful and rich history that has lead the JTA organization to where we are today. Let's not forget the many volunteers of the past Jenks Quarterback Club (QBC)and Trojan Parent Athletic Association (TPAA) that ultimately were the beginning of the great Jenks Trojans football history as we know it today and truly "Where the Legend Begins".
Jenks Trojan Preview
You had to be there to see the energy, excitement and fun the 2003 JTA Trojans had running out of the Trojan helmet at the 2003 Trojan Preview. Starting with the 1st graders and progressing through the 7th graders, each team and coach were announced as the Trojans ran from the helmet onto the field. The little guys were looking at the big guys wondering if they will get that big some day while the big guys looked at the little guys wondering if they were really that small when they played years ago. It was impressive show for the fans to see all the JTA Trojans on the field at the same time and a memorable activity well worth the time. The Jenks Trojan Booster Club was thrilled and appreciated the great support from JTA!!!
2003 Cheer and Pom Teams - Working Hard - Just Like Football
Not to go unnoticed, the JTA Cheer and Pom Teams have been preparing for the upcoming season in supporting their assigned teams. Last year the Cheer and Pom Teams competed "very" successfully in several competitions. Being a 7th grade Mighty Maroon Coach I am somewhat biased, the now 7th grade Pom Team were great last year and I look forward to seeing them again this year. As for a recent question about putting Cheer and Pom pictures on the website goes, if you have a picture, send it to me but remember that the website cannot handle the memory required for a zillion pictures. If you want more for your team, I encourage each JTA Football, Cheer and Pom Team to develop their own team websites and let me know their site address so I can link it to their JTA team spot. Eteamz offers a free basic site that will work great or for a small fee you can get the Eteamz Plus version that will do everything you want plus more. However, someone has to take the initiative to doing something, rather than waiting for someone to do it for them. So parents, the young women and men of the JTA Football, Cheer and Pom Teams have done their part, now you take the initiative to do yours. Keep that fan email coming. The JTA Webmaster.
2003 Pad Camp - 5th and 6th Grade - Complete
With great weather conditions, the 5th and 6th grade Trojans started the final camp for the 2003 season. The added experience and increased size of the 5th and 6th grade Trojans resulted in some "good hits" throughout the practice. Once again the JTA Coaches were scouting the new talent in hopes of finding their prize recruit. The camp concludes Thursday evening. Thanks again to the Jenks Coaching Staff for their assistance with the camps.
2003 Pad Camp - 3rd and 4th Grade - Complete
The 3rd and 4th grade JTA Pad Camp was completed with great success. After a "hot" first night the weatherman rewarded the players and staff with a beautiful, cool second night. Under the watchful eyes of Jenks Coaching Staff, the Trojans got a taste of the heat, contact and competition of the weeks to come. The side show of the two day event was watchiing the 3rd and 4th grade Coaches roam the field evaluating talent in hopes of selecting the next Rocky Calmus, Jason Lohr or Jerry Wisne for their team. However, when it was all done, the energy and excitement and fun the players showed during the camp it really what it is all about. Camp pictures are courtesy of Phyllis McCune.
Big Man - Lineman Camp - A "Huge" Success
WOW... What a camp...The 1st JTA Big Man Line Camp opened at the JTA Jenks Parkwest Field, June 30 with 89, 3rd through 7th graders from Jenks, BA, Claremore, Bixby, Glenpool, Union and beyond. The camp, organized and lead by former NFL lineman, David Alexander and an untold cast of excellent high school and youth football coaches made the camp enjoyable to be a BIG MAN. So much fun in fact that a few of the little guys also came to the camp. THANKS to everyone who assisted in making this event such a success. To bad Jerry "O" was a "no show" as he does not know what he missed.
The image to the left contains the 2002 JTA regular season results listed by grade, team and for the JTA organization. The results were taken from the INFC Standings website.

Mr. Williams is a very humble and honorable man who was not seeking recognition, however the fact is, he is "Mr. Goal Post." It is true that Mike Camino, Camino, Inc., 640-8921, constructed the goal post, but in conjunction with Mr. William's generosity. Sign the guestbook and say "Thanks" to Mr. Williams.

The start of practice by the football and cheer teams signal the beginning of the 2004 JTA season. While the emphasis of the JTA program is on the efforts of the young women and men participating in the JTA program, there is much more involved in making the season successful. Untold hours of effort have been given by JTA volunteers including: Curtis Smith, Paul Ross, Kathy Conner, Kelly Roberts, Mike Griffin, Mike Hays, Lorri Weaver, Scott Brown, Jamie Jackson, Danny Jones, Terry Kollmorgen, Brett Williams, Steve Neely, Tom Graham and many more that have not been named. Thanks to everyone for their assistance in making the 2004 JTA season successful.
Money, Time, Sweat and Effort - Nobody Will Ever Know
The start of practice by the football and cheer teams signal the beginning of the 2001 JTA season. While the emphasis of the JTA program is on the efforts of the young women and men participating in the JTA program, there is mcuh more involved in making the season successful. Untold hours of effort have been given by the following JTA staff: David Alexander, Steve Burnham, Tonya Litterell, Kim Williams, Teresa Scott, Danny Jones, Max Myers, Kelly Roberts, Eric Keys, Kevin Sabin, Mike Orr, Gary Ketchum, Mike Orr, Joni Anderson, Al Smith and many many more that have not been named.
An example of the efforts were demonstrated during the 1st JTA Preseason Scrimmages held Saturday, August 4th at the JTA fields. Gate admissions help support the continued improvements and operation of the JTA field. Noticable improvements this year include the freshly painted home bleachers and press box. The Danny Jones maintained sprinkling system and field looked great. The ice, water and sports drinks provide by JTA for the participants was a welcome relief for the participants.
An editorial note: As the season progresses please remember, if it is happening, someone involved in the JTA organization made it happen. If you feel you can make a difference, get involved. JTA is a volunteer organization and nobody's help is refused. If you want to know where the club funds are being spent, ask a board member as they can tell you. Even though the hundreds of voluteer hours are free, supplies are not, as it takes funds to operate the organization. Thank everyone involved in making the 2001 season a success.

While all the details for presenting the 2003 Academic Awards have yet to be finalized, the process of collecting and processing the team grade data package is as follows:
* Mid Term Grades will be distributed to students beginning October 23rd.
* Submit a completed hard copy of the Log Sheet found in the JTA Handout Section of the JTA Website. Also forward an electronic file copy to tograham@aol.com
* Submit copies of each players grade card
* Submit a team roster
* Submit the completed team package to Tom Graham or Curtis Smith at the JTA practice field by Thursday, October 30th.
Note: This is a team activity and participation in this program is voluntary. All Members of the winning team from each grade, 3rd - 7th, will be recognized, at an upcoming Jenks High School game, pending completion of the arrangements with Coach Trimble. Straight A students of participating teams from each grade will also be recognized. Only the four major core grades are used in the process, Math, History/Social Studies, Science and Reading/Language Arts. Grade point conversion criteria are listed on the Log Sheet. Team GPA will be based on 100% team participation. Players on the grade log sheet must match the team roster. Players not participating will count as zeros in the team GPA calculation. Incomplete documentation or grade cards will not be accepted.
Academic Award Presentation Instructions
The 2002 Academic Team and Individual Awards will be presented on the Jenks High School field on Friday, November 15th at 7:00pm. All award winners need to be present by 6:30pm, "No Later" so they can get lined up on the south end of the stadium up against the wall behind the concessions stand. All athletes will have to pay to enter since it is a state supported game, not a Jenks production.
