CJ Wright rushed for 190 yards and four touchdowns on 12 carries as Jenks routed Yukon 50-13 on Friday, Oct. 23. The win clinched the District 6AI-2 championship for the third-ranked Trojans at Miller Stadium.
Wright, a first-year tailback, finished with 201 total yards in the blowout, according to the Tulsa World. The victory gave Jenks its fifth straight win after the Trojans lost two games outside district play earlier this season.
No. 7 Yukon jumped to an early lead, according to the Tulsa World, but Jenks responded quickly and never looked back. The 37-point margin turned what had been billed as a marquee district matchup into a runaway.
The Trojans entered the game at 5-2 overall and 4-0 in district play, according to a KOCO preview published before the contest. Their only losses came in non-district games, including a 13-6 defeat to Bixby.
Wright has been a breakout performer all season. In an Oct. 2 win over Owasso, he rushed for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 victory, according to Sports Illustrated's state rankings. The Jenks defense sealed that game with two interceptions, one setting up the game-winning field goal and another clinching the win when Owasso was driving late.
The Trojans have rolled since. Tight end Braxton Daniel caught 10 passes for 129 yards and four touchdowns in a 56-22 win at Edmond Deer Creek, according to SI's Oct. 14 rankings. Jenks then beat Edmond Santa Fe 64-7 before dismantling Yukon.
The Millers entered at 6-2 after losing to both Owasso and Tulsa Union in district play.
Jenks still hosts Moore at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30.
