Denison 2009 football schedule is set

<p>The Denison football schedule for the 2009 season will have the same 10 opponents it did last year, just not in the same order.
</p>

<p>Denison head coach Cody White confirmed that the Yellow Jackets have switched their game against Little Elm from Week 3 to Week 0 and will open the season against the Lobos at Munson Stadium.
</p>

<p>Denison will then play at Big Spring, host Wichita Falls and have an open week before beginning District 9-4A action against Frisco Liberty.
</p>

<p>White wanted to change the schedule after Denison struggled against Big Spring following a scrimmage against Royse City while the Steers already a game under their belts. New Little Elm head coach Donald Stowers also wanted a bye going into district play and was receptive to the switch. Denison will now have just one scrimmage -- on August 21 at Rockwall.
</p>

<p>The move also will keep the Jackets a little fresher for a deep playoff run. Without the bye last season, Denison played four months and a week straight instead of mixing in a break.
