Jackson, Miss. – The Centenary football program returns to action for the first time since the 1940's on Saturday when the Gents face the Millsaps College Majors in a scrimmage set for 6 p.m. at Harper Davis Field.

The Gents, led by head coach Byron Dawson, feature a roster of 70 players including several from the Shreveport-Bossier area in addition to 15 out of state players.

Centenary's previous football history began with the Gents' first game in the fall of 1894 and ended in November of 1941, with a brief attempted revival in 1947 and again in the 1960s. More than a half-century later, the sport is back on campus.

The Gents will face East Texas Baptist University in a scrimmage at home on Thursday, Aug. 24 at 6:30 p.m. as fans and local media can get their first glimpse of the Maroon and White at Mayo Field.
