Coach Chris Purnell’s Jaguar football team traveled to Oxford to take on the Chargers, August 23rd, at Hemingway Stadium on the campus of The University of Mississippi. Showing a real estate chomping offense and a stingy defense, the Jags came out on top 10-7. The Jag offense lined up with two tight ends in a power formation and literally rammed the ball down the throats of the Chargers. Junior Fullback, Antonio Briggs, carried the load up the middle gaining tough yardage, mostly carrying 5-6 Chargers defenders on his back.

In our parent meeting in the spring, all parents in attendance were advised that any player participating in Jaguar Varsity or Junior Varsity football in 2008 would be required to sell a minimum of the equivalent of a half page ad in our 2008 Gameday Program. A half page ad costs $125. These ads are due by August 1, 2008. The Gameday programs will be in full color this year and should meet or exceed the quality of our 2007 program, one of the nicest in the state of Mississippi. Any player who does not sell his required ads will be required to pay their fair share to the DCHS Touchdown Club to cover the player’s costs of football game shoes, eleven pre-game meals, gatoraid at halftime and other incidentals. The school does not pay for these. The Touchdown Club does and the club can not cover the costs of players who don’t pay their fair share. If you have any questions about the ads or paying your fair share, contact Tim Brantley at 901-268-5304.

The DCHS Jaguars ended their 2007 season on Thursday, November 8th, falling to the number one ranked team in Mississippi, South Panola, by a score of 45-21. The game was much closer than the final score indicated. The Jaguars, playing without the services of over a dozen regular players, stood toe to toe with the number three ranked team in the nation, for a full 60 minutes. The Tigers offense could never get untracked in its normal style against the young Jaguars, who often bent but never broke against all odds.
