Last night was the beginning of high school football playoffs in the state of Texas. Friday the 13th, what a day to begin.
The Denison Yellow Jackets were facing
J.J. Pearce out of Richardson, a school with
twice the enrollment of Denison. The Yellow
Jackets took advantage of 7 turnovers by
Pearce and won the game 61-28.
It was the 27th playoff game in Denison
Football history. The team also set a school
record with 628 yards of total offense. Tailback
D.J. Jones ran for 146 yards and scored two
touchdowns. He now has rushed the ball for
1756 yards this season. Quarterback Jordan
Taylor accounted for 202 yards running &
passing the ball.
Denison will now face Dallas Conrad next
week in the Area round of the high school
playoffs. Conrad defeated Dallas Pinkston
24-19 last night...
Denison was the 1985 State Champion in
football and went to the title game in 1999,
2000, and 2001 but came home second best.
They are talented enough to return to the
top again this season. "Sting 'em
Jackets"
