Jackets Host 2013 Photo Day at Indoor Facility

One of the most anticipated events each year for any member of the Denison Yellow Jackets football program is getting in on the official team photo session.

That opportunity took place on Saturday afternoon as players, coaches, school officials, family members, and interested observers gathered at the Denison High School indoors practice facility.

The 2013 Yellow Jackets on Photo Day.

Following their first week of fall workouts, Chad Rogers and his squad put on their Friday-night best to show off the black-and-gold colors to the team's official photographer, Brian Eaves.

"This is exciting, don't you think?" queried a smiling Rogers, about to begin his second year as the head football coach and athletic director in Denison.

On what was a surprisingly mild August afternoon, the freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity squads met to have individual shots and team photos taken.

As Eaves and his crew did the official work, numerous I-Phone and digital photos were also snapped by eager parents and friends of the 2013 DHS squad.

Following the players photo session, Eaves then took the official Denison High coaching staff photo. That was quickly followed by photos of the DHS coaches with their families.

Throughout the entire process, there were numerous laughs, lots of backslaps and smiles, and plenty of high expectations that the Jackets are about to embark on a very successful 2013 campaign.

Rogers believes that will include a run at the District 13-4A championship, a return to the Class 4A playoffs for the first time since 2009, and returning the Battle Axe back home to Denison.

"We're planning on playing for sixteen weeks this fall," said Rogers.

Look for the official Denison team photo and individual photos on Sept. 13 when DHS game programs go on sale for the first time as the Jackets host Frisco Liberty for the 2013 home opener at Munson Stadium.
