Jenks clamps down on Edmond Memorial 35-0

JENKS — Jenks rode its defense and a steady offense to cruise past Edmond Memorial 35-0 on homecoming in District 6AI-1 action Friday night at Allan Trimble Stadium. The No. 2 Trojans (6-1, 3-1) have their final regular season home game next Friday against Norman. The Bulldogs fall to 1-6 overall and remain winless in district play at 0-4. Jenks had several solid efforts on either side of the ball. Running back Jacob Shelley finished with a game-high 137 yards on 12 carries and had one touchdown. Fellow running back Dreyson Watters gained 79 yards on 12 carries and had one TD. Quarterback Ian Corwin passed for 185 yards and a pair of touchdown tosses. The Trojans held Edmond to 113 yards of total offense and six first downs. Jenks got off to a bit of a slow start, but finally got rolling with a surge late in the first half. Noah Hernandez got the first score of the game for the Trojans on a 2-yard touchdown run with 3:49 left in the second quarter. Julian Clarke and Braden Phipps both made key diving catches earlier to help sustain that initial scoring drive. Shelley extended the advantage to 14-0 after an an 8-yard run with 1:22 remaining in the period. Jenks then got a back-breaker with just one second left in the first half, courtesy of a 29-yard scoring strike from Corwin to Blake Pitcock. Edmond Memorial picked up a couple of first downs on the opening drive of the second half, but the Trojan defense forced a punt near midfield. Jenks promptly marched down the field and Watters eventually finished things off with a 17-yard touchdown run at the 5:59 mark of the third quarter for a four-TD lead. The Trojans had a couple of other chances but the Bulldogs got interceptions from Seth McBride and Dakari Charlton at the 3:19 of the third period and 9:31 mark of the fourth, respectively. Jenks eventually overcame those mistakes, however, as Corwin found Clarke on a 39-yard touchdown connection with 6:18 remaining to cap the scoring.
