JENKS, Okla. — Jenks returned home Friday and came up short of toppling defending 6AII champs Bixby.
The Spartans topped the Trojans 23-15 at Allan Trimble Stadium, extending Bixby's winning streak over Jenks to three.
Bixby pulled ahead early and held off the Trojans down the stretch to improve to 2-0 this season. Jenks falls to 1-1.
The Trojans came into the game off of a 20-14 overtime win in Texas over Mansfield Summit.
