FAYETTEVILLE — Tulsa Union’s football program has long been an Oklahoma high school powerhouse with nine state titles, but this season has been an oddity so far.
The Redskins, who had an open date Friday, are 0-3 against a tough schedule despite having one of the state’s best players in Arkansas four-star tailback pledge AJ Green (5-11, 175).
Sledding gets no easier next Friday as defending Class 6A-I champ and top-ranked Owasso (3-0) hosts Union, which had to deal with the death of junior linebacker Juan Cruz in a car accident in early August.
“Just keep working,” Green said of what his team can do to turn things around.
