2009 Battle of the Ax

History: The Sherman-Denison Football rivalry began in 1901…(as far as has been discovered) a rivalry that has become a tradition for both communities and both schools. This is the longest continuous rivalry among all high schools in the state of Texas. Sherman won the first game. There were three games not played during World War I, one game not played during the 20’s and one game not played in the 30’s. Originally, and for many years to follow, the game was played on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day. It did not take long for the rivalry to take a negative turn, involving much vandalism and property destruction. Everyone was concerned, but only one individual took positive action-Jack Barker, a Denison businessman. Mr. Barker, owner of a small ice cream parlor and store on Main Street across from the old Denison High School, wanted to create a symbol that represented good sportsmanship and excellence in the athletic competitions between the two schools. The game has come to be called the Battle of the Ax, its symbol the ax. The ax is awarded yearly to the school that wins the football game between Sherman and Denison. The scores and years are engraved on the blade. When both sides of the blade are filled, the school with the most victories will keep the original ax. The first game for the AX was played in 1949. Mr. Barker wanted a symbol that represented a spirit of never quitting. Although only one team wins the AX, both teams win the spirit of the AX.

2009 Notes: Since the UIL formed in 1920 (modern era) Sherman leads the series 50-31-6

Overall, the 111th meeting in the longest running continuous series in the state of Texas. Sherman leads the all-time series 65-37-8. This will be the eighth time the Grayson County rivals have met in the final week of the regular season with the district championship on the line. Denison holds a 4-1-2 edge in those meetings. The Jackets captured the district title with wins in the 2008, 1997, 1996 and 1946 contests. The two teams tied in 1943 and 1961 while Sherman’s lone victory in those district championship games was in 1950.
Denison has won four of the last five meetings, with the only loss in that span coming in a 48-44 thriller at Munson Stadium in 2006 when the Jackets were throwing into the end zone for the win on the final two plays of the game. Two years ago, Jordan Taylor came on in relief at quarterback in the second half to lead the Jackets back from a 19-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining. Taylor accounted for over 200 yards of offense on Denison’s final three drives and scored all three Jacket touchdowns in the final period. Last year with Taylor returning from a broken collarbone, D.J. Jones rushed for a Battle of the Ax record 295 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a 79-yard kickoff return for a score.
